Hi Artur, Thanks a lot for raising this. I'd prefer to keep "polaris" as the module name of the Polaris python code. "pyPolaris" sounds unnecessary to me. However, I'm not fully understand the conflict between the module name "polaris" and the ./polaris executable. Would you mind clarifying it a bit?
BTW, https://github.com/apache/polaris/pull/2812 may not be a good example, as it uses "apache_polaris" as the module name, rather than "pyPolaris" Yufei On Sun, Oct 26, 2025 at 3:43 AM Artur Rakhmatulin < [email protected]> wrote: > Hello everyone. > I would like to reopen a VOTE for using "pypolaris" as the name of the > Apache Polaris CLI tool that will be available after installing the > Apache Polaris python distribution. > > Previous VOTE thread: > https://lists.apache.org/thread/6l1696679f7zq922f3kowd4fr3vcfr28 > > Motivation: > - avoid collisions with the existing ./polaris executable in the Apache > Polaris project > - avoid name collisions with other tools not related to Apache Polaris > - ease of use > > - Initial Issue - Package Python CLI tool in the binary distribution: > https://github.com/apache/polaris/issues/2419 > - How it might look like I reflected in the draft PR.
