Break same name with R

[kootenpv]

I always thought having the name "data" as a function globally is one of the weirdest things in R. Perhaps consider changing it into load_data (comparable to load_xxxx in sklearn). Then people can use data (however vague that term is anyway) in their scripts freely.

At the beginning, I was not sure what to call it, then just decided to keep it as simple as possible. And with that name, displaying the documentation (as well as displaying the existing datasets) would still make sense and does not need to have a separate function name for each. But (thanks to Thomas Wouters) you can always call it whatever you like :-) just

from pydataset import data as load_some_awesome_dataset
