We also have python libraries not prefixed by python- (e.g: pyalpm, pycups, pygtk, etc), I think we should also update with pkgbase=pygtk pkgname=(python-gtk python2-gtk)
That breaks common knowledge and conventional project names. This happened with pyqt: python2-qt python-qt Those look absolutely nothing like 'PyQt', which is the project name. We worked around this for a while using 'PyQt:' in the description so that it'd come up in searches for 'pyqt'. You could also provide for it in both, but that would still be a workaround. Andrea has since repackaged them as 'python2-pyqt' and simply 'pyqt', which looks, sounds and feels much better.
However, it would be nice if we could have consistent maning across all the packages at the end of the python 3.3.0 rebuild.
I prefer the first, we have the same case with lua and we should let program name be the last upstream "stable" version. Python is python 3, python 2 is dying (hardly) and I hope move from python 3 to python 4 will be smooth.
