[opensuse-packaging] Correctly naming a python package
Dear all, I had the need for a little python bindings package, that is available in pypi as lxc-python2. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxc-python2 https://github.com/lxc/python2-lxc As this is required for setting up lxc containers via ansible, I guess this might be useful in factory. But what would be the correct name for the package? python-lxc-python2 python2-lxc-python2 python2-lxc ... Johannes P.S.: The bindings themselves have not changed for a long time, so this should be easy to maintain...
Hi, The convention is to use `python[version]-[pypi-name]`. So in your case it's `python-lxc-python2` for py2 and `python3-lxc-python2` for py3. This looks quite ugly in your case, but using the pypi package name is the most useful convention. Hope this helps. Sebastian On 01/24/2017 07:59 PM, Johannes Kastl wrote:

Current naming convention is python-<pypi-name>.
python-lxc-python2 sounds stupid, but would match....

Thanks for the confirmation. I was not sure if the naming should be python2-lxc... as this is a python2-only package, as far as I can see. Johannes

Yes, currently the default is still python2 and `python-` still implicitly means python2. Sebastian -- python programming - mail server - photo - video - https://sebix.at cryptographic key at https://sebix.at/DC9B463B.asc and on public keyservers
