Looking at PyPI, there seems to be no clear standard on this, though
I would say 60% of distribution names are in lower case. Is there a
PEP that makes any recommendations either way?
I don't think so, but clearly PEP 8 recommends package names be
lowercase and it just seems easier to name the distribution the same
way. Actually, I'm not even sure what "distribution name" means
otherwise <wink>.
I don't see any connection between conventions for package names and
conventions for distribution names. As for what "distribution name"
means, the distutils documentation explains the difference between
distributions and packages:
http://docs.python.org/distutils/introduction.html#distutils-specific-terminology
Note that all referenced distributions there have camelCase names.
