But having said that, the no really good reason for the capitalized form, either. So I see your point that it makes sense to change the name to astropy so that it's all the same regardless. As long as there are no objections, I'll just go ahead and change the name in |

Is there a good reason for the distutils/setuptools/egg name being different from the Python package name? It's currently defined as "AstroPy" in the setup.py.
Maybe this doesn't matter (sorry to be pedantic), but I find this confusing for the following reasons:

"pip install AstroPy" someday will confuse people
