If it does pronounce that way in your language, it was just coincidence. By the way, NESticle was a great emulator back then. Wroted in assembly and used to run flawless on my 486!

Do you pronounce Py as 'pee'? If so that's interesting. Py is pronounced 'pie' in my head and when I occasionally say it aloud.

The name of that emulator coinciding with the word testicle was on purpose right?

I'm just glad I wasn't the only one who thought this back then.

A Google Images search for "nesticle icon" should clear up any doubt.

I doubt it, lots of python projects stick 'Py' on the front. PyGame, Pyglet, PyQT, etc.

yes, and "Pyglet" shows that the Py preface does not always follow the hard Y sound of Python.

so we can get pretty close, we might be able to pronounce it "pinnis".

Yeah, you can pronounce it that way if you want, and you could say "pie-glet," too--it doesn't mean it was a 'deliberate attempt.'
