html2text entry point script conflicts with existing software

Open floppym opened this issue 12 years ago • 1 comments

The entry point script introduced in ff24bab2601665e59b1547b847dfd1ad42695a09 creates a naming conflict on Gentoo Linux. /usr/bin/html2text is already occupied by a C++ program that was initially developed in 1999.

Can this script be renamed to something to avoid this conflict? You could probably just tack ".py" on the end.

However ".py" extension is for Python modules, not Python scripts.
