We'll go with 'python3-pyls-jsonrpc' for the binary package.

We plan to keep the source package name and repository name as
'python-jsonrpc-server' to follow upstream.

Thanks for all your help!

When you say "follow that", do you mean for the Debian source package
name (.dsc, like dbus-python), or for the Debian binary package name
(.deb, like python3-dbus)?

The binary package name should be mechanically derived from what you
import. If you 'import pyls_jsonrpc', then python3-pyls-jsonrpc is right.
If you 'import pyls.jsonrpc', then python3-pyls.jsonrpc, and so on.

The source package name is less important, and could either resemble the
binary package name or match what upstream calls it.

Hi Otto,

* Otto Kekäläinen  [2020-11-01 19:36]:

Upstream uses 'python-jsonrpc-server' as the repository and also the
pip package name. Should we follow that in Debian or perhaps use the
alternative name 'python3-pyls-jsonrpc'?

Is there some existing naming convention/policy about Python modules
of this sort?


https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/module_packages.html#package_names

So python3-pyls-jsonrpc for the binary package is correct.

Cheers Jochen
