Name conflict with Client SDK #8

Is it possible to rename this project to "livekitserver" or something similar so it does not conflict with the Python Client SDK?

AlexJMohr commented 1 year ago

Sure, I'm open to the idea. I'm not sure why you would want both the client and server installed in the same project though.

oshoemaker commented 1 year ago

There is a use case that having a headless client participating in the session can be beneficial. It allows a low overhead communication mechanism for controlling the session without the need for other external services. We may end up using the go SDK or Rust so this isn't high priority. I do have both working in the same client using a this SDK as a local module and seems to work well.

yeah this makes sense.. we are thinking about folding this package into a monorepo for both of our python SDKs.

The package names would be:

Client SDK: livekit on PyPi. livekit.rtc in code
Server SDK: livekit-api on PyPi. livekit.api in code

i am having problems installing now , how to install this from pypi? better just do mono repo and have single package for both client and server should be better

theomonnom commented 1 year ago

Hey, we’re going to release a Server SDK inside the client repo this week (mono repo, but different packages)
