[question] PyPI package pyflow already taken

[kinow]

Hi,

PYPI already has a pyflow package (https://pypi.org/project/pyflow/ & https://github.com/David-OConnor/pyflow), that appears to be actively maintained. Similar names like py-flow are, I believe, discouraged to avoid user confusion & due to typosquatting policies.

The conda package is also already taken… but in this case by another package: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pyflow & https://github.com/wonderworks-software/PyFlow

Are there plans to release pyflow to PYPI? If so, would it be under something name like ecmwf-pyflow, or perhaps under another name?

Thanks -Bruno

p.s.: sorry for sending a question as an issue, let me know if there's a better place (email/discourse/or github discussions in some other repo).

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for this, we are aware of the issue and we're discussing our options. We'll keep you posted on this thread :)

Cheers, Corentin

what about a pip package named "pyflow-workflow-generator"?

[corentincarton]

Yes, that was the plan. That's why we renamed the documentation to pyflow-workflow-generator. I'll push the package to pypi asap.

Pyflow is available in pypi as pyflow-workflow-generator
