Shorten Package Name

[almann]

Currently the package is nested as amazon.ion, this is somewhat verbose and requires the use of namespace packages which have idiomatic support in Python 2, but are non-standard. I propose we shorten the name to a single level of depth. Some possibilities:

• amzion - my preferred choice.
• ion - potentially conflicting with other modules with a sufficiently general name.
• amazonion - too long in my opinion.
• anion - a pun on negatively charged Ion and "an Ion" implementation. Negative connotation may make this not a good choice.

What makes you say amazonion is too long?

I'll also throw pyon in there. Since it seems fashionable to put 'py' in the name of your python stuff.

A lot of Python packages eschew that many characters, so my inclination is to flatten and make it around six-ish characters.

Another option is ionpy (in the spirit of your suggestion).

+1 to amzion.

However, given that the organization username for this account is amznlabs, we could think of amznion.
