+1 on apache-polaris. Very easy to remember and straightforward. I personally dislike the "py" prefix on everything - like the J... convention on things in Java that was common for a while. I know what language I'm using. You don't need to remind me 😂. But I understand it's a common convention, so it doesn't bother me too much.
