Okay. That's a pretty simple technical problem (a simple relation between PyPI distribution name, GNU+Linux operating system name, and package name). Of course, *populating* that database, *verifying* the ambiguous inputs, and *maintaining* that database into the future, are all social problems. You'll probably need an organised group of people to address it. I'm not aware of any sufficiently motivated group of people to put in the ongoing effort to provide what you want. (Another social problem is convincing people not to top-post, but instead to reply interleaved and trim irrelevant quoted material <URL:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Interleaved_style>.) -- \ “Anyone who puts a small gloss on [a] fundamental technology, | `\ calls it proprietary, and then tries to keep others from | _o__) building on it, is a thief.” —Tim O'Reilly, 2000-01-25 | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
