Hi, The recent upload of packages from pjstevns on PyPI [1] shed some ligth on a potential issue. For now, we use a schema for naming the packages of Tryton modules which is:
trytond_%(module_name)s
But we have no guarantee that this name will be available for new modules in
the future because we don't have control on PyPI.
Of course, we can rely on a good collaboration of people but there is no
guarantee.
I see two options right now:
- changing the name of the package for modules that will be taken by
someone else. But this means that in the setup.py we can no more rely on
the package naming to generate the dependencies.
- create our own instance of PyPI (on pypi.tryton.org) like that we have
the control over the package naming. But this mean that we need to
maintain the services and also user need to specify the Tryton index in
the installation command line like:
```
pip install -i http://pypi.tryton.org/simple \
--extra-index-url=http://pypi.python.org/simple \
PACKAGE_NAMES...
```
Of course it can be setup in the configuration file.
I would like to hear your voices about this topic?
PS: @pjstevns of course it is not against you, it is general issue you was
just the revealer. And your modules will be welcome in the mainstream after
some codereview ;-)
