I personally like domains for projects, though package.pypi.python.org
is a bit long winded anyway. A new top-level domain (pypackage.org or
pyforge.org or something) would mitigate that. But any place to drop
docs would be nice. Especially with Sphinx I think we'll get more
libraries with multi-page HTML docs.
What about distribution names with dots in them? Or worse, spaces? Both
are allowed by setuptools and PyPI and I've seen them in the wild
(especially dotted distribution names aren't uncommon when a namespaced
package is distributed under its package name, e.g. zope.interface).
Can't they be normalized? I.e.:
re.sub('--+', '-', re.sub('[^a-z0-9]', '-', package.lower()))
I *think* package names should be unique after this normalization, but
I'm not sure. It would be nice if no packages relied on punctuation or
case to make them unique, regardless of this domain issue.
