[SOLVED] Python package naming

I am wondering the correct way to name python library packages is. The python package contains the 3.x version, but I see that python 2.x libraries are called python-name.

Take python-sqlalchemy for example. From looking at the name I would think it a python 3.x related. It is not, however. I made my own Python3 AUR package and called it python-sqlalchemy-py3k.

Is that the correct name? Should it be python3-sqlalchemy? I'm a bit confused smile

Re: [SOLVED] Python package naming

It should be
python(3) ->  python-foo
python2 -> python2-foo

but we are in a transition and it will take some time for this to happen...

Re: [SOLVED] Python package naming

I was just wondering why most python module packages don't even bother with the "python-" prefix.
Examples: pygtk, pytube, pygtksourceview, pympd, etc...
