Legalities aside, I'd prefer this wasn't done. It will induce confusion as there will be some people who think it's associated with the Django project. Having a description that says it implements the same templating language as XYZ is simply descriptive, but making it clear in the name that it's a different project would sit more comfortably with me. (Note: I have no actual say here, but that's my opinion as a reasonable human being.) [...] > P.S.: Since I haven't look at the Django source yet: What the hell > does "iriencode" do? Encodes IRI's, obviously. As documented. :-) Seriously, it implements section 3.1 of RFC 3987, with the exception of international domain name handling (which is consistently not part of Django yet, but most likely will be before 1.1).
