`pipx` name on PyPI is taken by another project

See original GitHub issue
I spoke with the owner of the `pipx` name on PyPI about transferring ownership to this project, and he said he would do so only if it was popular enough.

Add a thumbs up to this issue to signal to the owner that you would like this project to be transferred as the owner of the name on PyPI.

  • npx is the node package runner, so for symmetry it makes sense that pipx would be the Python package runner
  • if ownership was transferred, I would add a section in the README thanking him and linking to his github projects

thank you for all the upvotes!

Update: The owner of the pipx name is going to keep the name. This issue is now to determine the best way forward in terms of installing pipx and choosing a name (if any) on PyPI.

For the moment I suggest using a name like pipx-app so people can start installing and trying out the app without having to curl / pipe.
