Specifying the name mapping mechanism - separate PEP or not? #4

Closed rgommers closed 1 year ago

rgommers commented 1 year ago

It feels to me like the current draft is long enough already (and it'll grow more probably), and a name mapping mechanism should be a second PEP. We discussed that it should be available when submitting the PEP on external dependencies, because folks will want to discuss and are going to guess if we don't have it yet. That said, we could create a draft - it wouldn't have to be super polished yet. I can probably find time tomorrow to draft something. @pradyunsg thoughts?

Should be a separate PEP, and here is a draft with hopefully enough detail (including a fully worked out example) to serve as an illustration during discussion of the metadata PEP: https://github.com/rgommers/peps/blob/pep-name-mapping/pep-9999.rst
