Is there a way that `garlicsim_py3` will install itself under the
alias `garlicsim`? What I want is for a Python 3 user to be able to
`import garlicsim` and refer to the module all the time as
`garlicsim`, but that it will really be `garlicsim_py3`.
Why not just develop them both with the same package name? Your
project name (in setup(name='...')) can still be different.
Oh, I didn't even know that was possible. That sounds great, and I
wish I would have known about this option 6 months ago.
If this works well, I'll start converting my entire codebase to this
method. Before I jump in, is there anything important I should keep
in mind, any possible problems?
Also, this is plain setuptools, right? I mean, not requiring Distribute.
It works with plain distutils, too. Just use
setup(name='garlicsym_py3', packages=['garlicsym']) in your Python 3
branch of setup.py, and setup(name='garlicsym',
packages=['garlicsym']) in your Python 2 branch.
