Check if user-specified package name exists on PyPI already, and suggest an alternative one if it does

Open webyneter opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

Given the user-specified project name matches the one used for PyPI deployments (which is the out-of-box setup, by the way) inadvertent name clashes are possible:

$ twine upload dist/*

HTTPError: 403 Client Error: The user '...' isn't allowed to upload to project '...'. See https://pypi.org/help/#project-name for more information. for url: https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/

Not sure if the proposal is relevant in terms of overall project roadmap though.
