-1 based on the reasons I mentioned in my previous email. Can we wrap this up soon? The module name change feels quite trivial, TBH. The key consideration should be the potential for conflicts with other projects when the Polaris Python library is used downstream. The likelihood of such conflicts is effectively the same whether we use “pyPolaris” or “polaris.”
Also, we should move forward with publishing the Python binary instead of spending more time debating the name.
