Rename to "autocomplete-python" and consolidate
For better discover-ability of this (awesome) package I recommend a rename to autocomplete-python and a consolidation (and removal of all but one) with the other autocomplete jedi plugins (I chose this package to post this issue too as it seems the most recent / working version).

I don't think this is something we (me or @benogle) can or should do. Basically, that's other peoples packages, and just kicking them would be ... bad. Thanks for your support though. ;)
I agree. However attempted communication with those packages and then (after some time period) removing them or flagging them someway should be done. If I search for "autocomplete python" right now I get a few different options and have to read through to figure it out.
As a community we need to consolidate packages that provide the same functionality to better give a single package to the user.
It would be nice if everyone interested in this a python provider could work together on a single package cc @emhagman @fallenhitokiri
Yeah, absolutely. I wrote @fallenhitokiri a mail some time ago... perhaps we could get some coordination under way?
@tinloaf just checked my mailbox again - I cannot find your mail. Did I ever answer it and forgot about it? Only thing I can find is your PR.
I have absolutely no problem removing my package from APM. I gave Atom a try and didn't find a maintained and working plugin, so I wrote one. But since I like neither Atom nor the parts of the Atom / plugin community I encountered so far I am more than happy to see someone else shipping a working Python provider. I'll remove it this weekend.
Judging from this discussion it looks like the best course is to notify the users I am aware of to switch to this plugin?
@fallenhitokiri 30.3.2015 to [email protected] ? @benogle I had a look, and it seems there is no real possibility to merge two packages in APM, right? It's possible to rename them, though... could something be hacked with renaming?
If we could make renaming work like it does in github than we could do a redirect from the current name to autocomplete-python. I'd also hide the "symlinked" names from search and inform the users that the name changed somehow (some warning or other).
Currently, when packages are renamed, there's a redirect_from attribute set on the package so the old name still works. I could fully delete (most records are soft-deleted) the package that should go away and manually set the redirect_from value on the one that stays.
@tinloaf sorry - checked my inbox again and the spam filter, no mail from you. Not sure what went wrong.
Just seen that @sadovnychyi created yet another incarnation of this. See https://github.com/sadovnychyi/autocomplete-python/issues/4 .. we should definitely consolidate this somehow.
