Hi Tarek,
While I was reading this PEP, I noticed that it suggests the '-'
character as separator (between name, version, etc..) .. naturally
introducing '_' *within* names and versions.
'python_ldap-2.5.a_5.egg_info'
This decision looks odd to me, as several package systems I know of use
the '_' character as seperator. In Debian,
'python-ldap_2.3.5-1ubuntu1_i386.deb'
Besides, it is very common for Python packages to use '-' in their names
instead of '_'.
[.. pypimirror]$ ls | grep "_" | wc -l
200
[.. pypimirror]$ ls | grep "-" | wc -l
628
Why not use '_' as separator?
Cheers,
Sridhar
