Potential name confusion with the `pyapp` package

Open ncoghlan opened this issue 2 months ago • 2 comments

I was looking up https://pypi.org/project/pyapp/ today, and belatedly noticed the naming conflict here.

Aside from the search confusion issue, it would only become a larger issue in practice if you wanted to support installation & execution of this pyapp with pipx or uvx (since the name is already in use for an actively maintained package on PyPI).

Was your original intent to install that or use this?

I was looking up the other one (the CLI implementation support library), and was initially confused by the general web search results I was getting (including wondering if some articles were getting confused with the older py2app).

Given this project has also been around under the same name for a decent while now, I'm not sure there's anything to actually do here, though (aside from potentially making a note about the other pyapp in the README somewhere).
