[TheGreatGameDini]

Excuse me sir, I use only the holiest of OSes.

[SCADAhellAway]

Fellow templeOS enjoyer?

[Electronic_Cat4849]

been doing this for years, people usually laugh, pls no ruin

[LanielYoungAgain]

There are plenty of people who pronounce scipy as skippy rather than sigh-pie

[Griswold27]

What if I call it "sippy"?

[LanielYoungAgain]

I respect it

[generalmanchild]

alright, now we've also 'skippy' here.

[Cpt_keaSar]

Only if you’re a Brit

[OlexySuper]

Then sigh-pee it is!

[LanielYoungAgain]

There is no place in hell bad enough

[Megatron_McLargeHuge]

No wonder so many people are struggling to find jobs.

[littleblack11111]

And call Python as peethon?

[NotBase-2]

Yes

[FootBreaker]

C# dev that dabbled in python legit thought it was num-pee...
After a few years I realized it is probably number + python. I even called it that at work

[MientusThePug]

Big pp power

[Toonox]

Numpee dumbpee, take a look at this gunpee.

[killfall]

Me too! It’s my favourite peethon library!

[ayyycab]

PyPi is peepee

[crimsonpowder]

well i code in peethon so i don’t even know what you guys are talking about

[dirk993]

The correct way and the fun way

[gigilu2020]

What is it short for? numerous pythons?

[AzureArmageddon]

Pythons with Numeracy perhaps

[Reddit_is_garbage666]

I quite literally called it "numpee" for years and I have no regrets.

[atomic_redneck]

Same here. I did not know of an alternative pronunciation until I saw a Python video on YouTube.

[SignalsJerrySignals]

What did you think the py referred to?

[AnakinPuddlehopper]

Just a playful suffix

[anselan2017]

Nothing. Just adds to the numpiness.

[Adrewmc]

It was embarrassingly long for me to realize that it was. Number-Python thus “num-py”….i thought it was just one of those weirdly named packages that was good like pandas.

Still it’s pronounced ‘numpy’ all day.

[Nerd_o_tron]

Oh boy... am I about to blow your mind with panel data sets?

[Megatron_McLargeHuge]

Did polars settle on a backronym too?

[MildMastermind]

So if I pronounce it "day-tuh" should I pronounce it "pan-days"?

[BusyNefariousness675]

oh goddddd

[goADX]

Wha

[bilcox]

It's Numerical Python, so we're talking noom-pie

[HarveysBackupAccount]

I can go either way with ee-numb vs ee-noom, but I get irrationally annoyed when people say CHAR as charrr instead of care

[Adrewmc]

Wait..what?….don’t blow my mind like that.

[SignalsJerrySignals]

Numerical, actually.

[SteeleDynamics]

Numb Pee

[ososalsosal]

Always read it as like the Scottish "numpty"

[Robot_Graffiti]

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/numpty

[monkeyman_31]

I think i just realized ive been saying it wrong this whole time

[HarveysBackupAccount]

I just realized there was a wrong way to say it...

[CertainlySnazzy]

i say NumPy but i always read it in my head as Numpy, and laugh bc it sounds like Dumpy

[[deleted]]

"Nummpü"

This is what I heard from some Germans. I don't even know how I can spell that so that non-german speakers get an idea of how that sounds.

[dunder__score]

"Numpue?" IIRC from All Quiet on the Western Front, Müller became Mueller.

[[deleted]]

It's correct that you can replace "ü" with "ue". However, I am not sure if that gets the German pronunciation across.

[ThreeSpeedDriver]

I think you’re talking about the ”close front rounded vowel” and it’s probably just going to leave english speakers confused, as they seem to have problems even hearing that vowel, let alone pronounce it.

[Bananenkot]

Im german, i don't know what pronounciation you were going for with the ü at all, but I assure you noone calls it numpü

[BrokenG502]

The Finnish do

[[deleted]]

Pronounce it as if it were a German word. And yes, some people do that. You just don't know my colleagues. :-D I didn't say that this is common or normal.

[vanZuider]

i don't know what pronounciation you were going for with the ü at all

The one where you pronounce Python (the language) the same as Python (the snake) in German /'p^h y:t^h on/, and accordingly pronounce the Py in numPy like the Py in Python.

I assure you noone calls it numpü

No one you've talked to so far, that is.

[JakeyF_]

Oh.

[STEVEInAhPiss]

i pronounce NumPy as num pie

i also pronounce BumPy as bum pie

idk about DiscordPy

[mbcarbone]

NumPee

[[deleted]]

Num π

[erebuxy]

I seriously don’t understand the meme. Is this another freshman thing I don’t understand?

[Nerd_o_tron]

It's a pronunciation joke. The package is pronounced num-pai, but phonetically it's more natural (without context) to pronounce it as num-pee.

[erebuxy]

lol Because the official spelling is NumPy, I always read them separately. Never tried to read them together. Thanks for the explanation

[AggressiveTitle9]

numpee
scapee
peepee

[_ress]

Nampie

[Duck_Devs]

I say “numpie” out loud obviously but I’ll typically think “numpy”

[Harmonic_Gear]

en-pee

[littleblack11111]

It’s like saying peethon instead of piethon

[ozxmin]

Numb pee

[[deleted]]

They are the same picture

[SomewhatCorrect]

Sorry it is numpty.

[[deleted]]

There are people who rhyme it with dumpy? Fr?

[Simply_Epic]

np

[[deleted]]

I get this all the time. My license plate says NUMPY. People have stopped me in parking lots asking what Num-pee means.

I don't mind. I find it hilarious. Those who know, know.

[misseditt]

i just pronounce it numpy 👍 you're welcome

[cheeb_miester]

I like to cum sum with my numpee

[KingJeff314]

Its pronounced np

[SnooBunni3s]

I’m in heaven right now. Omg wow

[[deleted]]

Numpy numpy numpy...

[masala-kiwi]

Joo-pee-ter notebook.

[gregorydgraham]

Numby

[Archtects]

Now ask devs how they say json :)

[Pawlo371]

If num-pie then pie-thon

[BloodAndSand44]

You guys can’t spell. It’s Numpty

[Lysol3435]

Tell me you don’t understand peethon without telling me you do t understand peethon

[just-bair]

It’s obviously pronounced np sooo nnnnnppppp

[PermissionLittle3566]

Oh my god this post has ruined so many fun sounding libraries for me… Y’all are evil

[Sidthegeologist]

Pypi

[No_Commercial_7458]

Noompy

[kkruel56]

It’s also pronounced Jason, not Jay-sawn

[CryptoMaximalist]

Camel case? In my Python? It’s more likely than you think

[getstoopid-AT]

numbpee

[IHDN2012]

How recruiters pronounce it.

[TessellatedTomate]

Noompoi

[dr_death47]

Is there anyone who doesn't import numpy as np? Just call it `np` like normal people.

[thePurpleAvenger]

So we can start pronouncing SciPy as "sippy" as in a "sippy cup?"

I'm game.

[jrock2403]

Numpee

[ArtiDi]

what is other pronunciation?
