Lightning-talk at EuroPython 2013, Florence.

By Benoît Bryon <benoit@marmelune.net>

• Public projects, on PyPI
• Private projects
• Distributed packages and modules

pysendfile and django-sendfile projects

both distribute sendfile package.

pip install pysandbox VS import sandbox

• zc.rst2 is not specific to zc project

pip install celery <=> import celery

No hyphens.

• Lowercase
• Underscores are not recommended

Except special cases, mostly strong relationships.

• name is identifier on PyPI,
• keywords, classifiers, ... describe your project,
• documentation, blog, ... make your project even more visible.

• Easy to apply
• Easier project scaffolding
• Instant benefits

PEP 423 explains how to rename a project.

Deprecate using metadata, do not remove.

Wish list:

• a tool helps to rename a project
• PyPI archives inactive and deprecated projects

• Easy to do
• PEP-423 compliant

• Flask explicitely recommends flask.ext.*
• Django should clarify django-*

• discussed in 2012 with "owner.project" => no consensus
• reloading at EuroPython 2013 => what about "single namespace"?

See you in open-space session!
