pip packages should be case insensitive and `_` vs `-` are the same #63

There is a minor bug/corner case where the package name's case setting affects if it gets picked up.

From https://peps.python.org/pep-0426/#name

All comparisons of distribution names MUST be case insensitive, and MUST consider hyphens and underscores to be equivalent.

Example:

Numpy == numpy == NuMPy
My-package == my_package

@ak-gupta or @NikhilJArora would you have time/interest to work on a fix for this?

I'd be interested in taking a look at this!

Thanks @NikhilJArora that would be fantastic
