"For Python 3 libraries, use python-modulename. For applications, use the program name. In either case, the package name should be entirely lowercase."
The module name is "git", thus the package name should be "python-git". Feel free to disagree with me, but I'm going to keep maintaining my package regardless. Don't merge it.
Ah, I missed the python package guidelines.
I will file a delete request for my package and I'll notify other maintainers that are currently using python-gitpython to use python-git instead.
Thank you!
You import 'git' in Python, but the module name is clearly GitPython. I don't see any reason to have it named 'python-git'. This is completely misleading with VCS packages, thus 'python-gitpython' makes more sense to me.
