Should this package be renamed

See original GitHub issue

I don’t love the name, it’s long and causes some confusion - but may not be worth the work renaming. Maybe for version 2…?

Some alternatives are:

  • airtable (used)
  • python-airtable (used)
  • airtable-python (used)
  • airtable-python (available)
  • pyairtable (available)
  • airtable-python-wrapper (keep as is 😃)

Repo: rename airtable-python-wrapper -> pyairtable (github maintains redirects for existing web links)

This is smart. It guarantees any links to the repo still work while simultaneously introducing people to the new name. This plus a one-line “airtable-python-wrapper” is now “pyairtable” in the readme would make it all super clear.

Pypi: Keep airtabe-python-wrapper for 0.x, create new pyairtable on pypi for 1.x+

Agreed, this is another good call and makes it easy to put up a “final” 0.x release for any cases where requirements.txt has airtable-python-wrapper without a version.

Docs: RTD can handle both version simultaneouly so old docs would still be accessible.

👍

Ie. 0.x releases remain airtable-python-wrapper and 1.x+ become pyairtable.

I agree with @jonathanlaniado; this makes the most sense.

Is that confusing?

Nope!
