Why this name?

Granted it will be used on the “web”, the word “log” in Latin may be translated as INdicem FACTorum, hence InFact or -nFact to be more easily pronounceable when prepending the prefix py-, an indicator of the programming language where it has been developed.

Also, pyblog, pyblic, pyweblog and many other cool names were already taken.
