Comment (by ClashTheBunny):

 The [http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#package-and-module-names PEP
 on naming modules and packages] says to not use "-" or cases, so I would
 then chose "tahoe".  As people have mentioned previously, tahoe is an
 implementation of a LAFS, it's not the only one that will ever exist.
 It's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tahoe_%28disambiguation%29 not used for
 many things in computing], it's less than 8 characters and is lowercase
 (for legacy file systems), and it's the name of this implementation of a
 LAFS.  I don't think many people will be running tahoe off of a FAT
 filesystem without long filenames, but since that's patented, I can
 imagine it happening.  Mac OS X HFS+ is case insensitive by default, I
 believe.
