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.

Commencez par les entrées référencées dans pyproject.toml et README.md, puis recherchez les références à project-name dans tox.ini, mypy.ini et dans le dépôt. Consultez les recommandations de normalisation des noms de Python packaging avant de décider quelle graphie doit être canonique. Le travail est terminé lorsque le nom choisi est utilisé de manière cohérente et que le package se construit et s’installe toujours correctement.
