-- I try to use a library pyd, and
-- my local project has a file called "source/util.d"
the dub build error out:
/.dub/packages/pyd-0.13.1/pyd/infrastructure/util/typelist.d(1,1): Error: package name 'util' conflicts with usage as a module name in file source/util.d
I wonder what's the best way to resolve this conflict, i.e my local file name with 3rd party library dir name.
Don't write any module with a single name unless you are guaranteed to never import it.
pyd should have called it like module pyd.util;
Then you call yours like module mw.util;
This makes such conflicts a lot less likely.
IMO, 3rd party libraries should always be in their own package namespace. Leave the top-level for user code! Why should a local module 'util' conflict with any dependency? It should be the library author's job to make sure his code doesn't conflict with the user's!
