Hello,

I have received some concerned voices in regard to have a package called "psycopg3". I guess many have been burned out by the Python 2 to 3 transition, and now it's not a happy pair of number to see next to each other. Sorry, Fibonacci...

The rationale behind having the 2 in the package name was to allow the coexistence between v1 and 2. But now that nobody uses v1 anymore, I think the name can be considered free. I believe it even predates pypi and the requirements.txt convention. Dark times...

Anyone against using "psycopg" as package name, and starting from 3 as version number?

Yes.

1) "psycopg" is widely used as an alias for psycopg2, so that will cause confusion.

2) I see a lot of explaining why the order of versions is psycopg2, psycopg.

3) People don't seem to be confused that you can use psycopg2 with both Python 2 and 3.


Cheers,
