I did not say anything about the script name; I understand perfectly that
.py suffix here allows it to coexist peacefully with whatever htpasswd might
be installed by users' favorite web server.

Moreover, this little utility might be a bit special since its pythonic
nature probably should be reitereated for good reasons.  However, given
that many ports that do not warrant this naming are being committed in a
similar fashion, my primary concern was to raise the point that such
decisions should be carefully thought out and backed up by sufficient
reasoning.
