python-Levenshtein on PyPI? #26

Closed keikoro closed 6 months ago

keikoro commented 8 years ago

Hi there, after a quick look around, it's not entirely clear if this fork corresponds to the python-Levenshtein package on PyPI, i.e. if I'll get this version of the package if I install it via PyPI or the old one.

The README says: "This package was long missing from PyPi and available as source checkout only. We needed to restore this package for Go Mobile for Plone and Pywurfl projects which depend on this." but the actual PyPI page isn't linked?

I would have compared version numbers but I didn't see any mentioned on here either.

@kerstin Yeah this is the package that is python-Levenshtein on PyPI. The version number is in setup.py.

Thanks!

Would it make sense to make that more clear in the README – particularly for casual/drive-by readers – possibly with a backlink? I could make such a change and send a PR.

Pull requests accepted. This repository is linked to from PyPI README though.

Thx!

And true about the linkage, though only if one clicks through (and then it depends on which version one clicks on). Maybe this confused me – I'm used to seeing all info presented on the "top level" package page. Not sure how that is accomplished, however. (Just checked and it looks like most packages on PyPI only have their most recent version listed in the first place and that and the "top level" page are then the same.)

Anyway, not all that relevant in this case as I found your repo via another GH repo, not via PyPI; that's why I asked about linkage in the other direction to begin with. ^^ Will fix so it's immediately clear for the next person wondering about that.
