Name collision seems to be the primary problem we are trying to solve. I agree with the issue and we are ready to move our modules to a *new* naming scheme too, and may be most of us in this community will too, but that doesn't really solve the problem because anybody could still create packages on pypi under the tryton namespace ? And if it is his *intention* to do it, we might have little or no influence over it either. My preferred solution to the problem would be hosting our own pypi which serves the official modules and perhaps the community ones too. The package index could perhaps be regulated by a 'packaging sig', which could arbitrate on name clashes and disputes. I have never made a separate installation of pypi myself, but I think there are already projects which have done this. Thanks Sharoon Thomas -- -- tryton@googlegroups.com mailing list
