should the project/package name be `prometheus-client` rather than `prometheus_client`

Hey.

I stumbled over the question what to use when one specifies the Prometheus Client as a dependency= in pyproject.toml?

• you guys seem to use prometheus_client (underscore)
  https://github.com/prometheus/client_python/blob/46eae7bae88f76951f7246d9f359f2dd5eeff110/pyproject.toml#L6C9-L6C26
• PyPi seems to use prometheus-client (i.e. when one enters the URL with underscore, it forwards to the one with hyphen)

The actual package build/installation seems to work with both names.

For me the whole Python packaging standard are like big mess ^^... but, if I understand correctly the following possibly means:

The name should be lowercased with all runs of the characters ., -, or _ replaced with a single - character.

that the name should be with hypen.

So maybe that should be changed in pyproject.toml and many other places like e.g.:

• https://github.com/prometheus/client_python/blob/46eae7bae88f76951f7246d9f359f2dd5eeff110/README.md?plain=1#L8
• https://github.com/prometheus/client_python/blob/46eae7bae88f76951f7246d9f359f2dd5eeff110/pyproject.toml#L49
• https://github.com/prometheus/client_python/blob/46eae7bae88f76951f7246d9f359f2dd5eeff110/README.md?plain=1#L20

and perhaps more in tox.ini and mypy.ini?

Cheers,
Chris.

Empieza por las entradas mencionadas en pyproject.toml y README.md y, después, busca referencias a project-name en tox.ini, mypy.ini y en el repositorio. Consulta las directrices de normalización de nombres de Python packaging antes de decidir qué forma de escritura debe ser canónica. Se considera terminado cuando el nombre elegido se usa de forma coherente y el paquete se sigue compilando e instalando correctamente.
