Problem description
I am getting a naming collision when trying to publish data-prep-kit using twine. It seems to be colliding with with Data-Prep-Kit-SM at https://pypi.org/project/Data-Prep-Kit-SM/, at least that seems to be the closest one. Per check_availability, it would seem to be available.
$ check-availability pypi data-prep-kit --verbose 3
GET https://pypi.org/project/data-prep-kit
Got status code 404
The name data-prep-kit is available on pypi
So, maybe 2 issues
- check_availability is not consistent with twine
- the names seem distinguished
I would prefer to use data-prep-kit if possible. Thanks.

Where does the check-availability command come from?
It seems that it doesn’t follow current PyPI policy for restrictions on similar names.
