> Name's a bit confusing when XLWings exists

How? XLWings is not a similar name to pyxl. However, even so, the name is... Heavily overloaded:

https://pyxl.com/ (some kind of strategy/CRM/AI thing)

https://pyxl.ai/ (AI website builder)

https://www.pyxl.pro/ (AI image generator)

https://github.com/dropbox/pyxl (Inline HTML extension for Python)

https://openpyxl.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ (A Python library to read/write Excel files)

https://www.pyxll.com/ (Excel Add-in to support add-ins written in Python)

>has XL >has to do with Python

Indeed, the namespace is rather crowded.
