Case sensitivity of project names when publishing to PyPI

See original GitHub issue

I am on the latest Poetry version.
I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.

Poetry version: 0.12.16

Issue

I’m trying to migrate my project from setup.py etc to poetry, and it has mostly been very straightforward.

My (very minor) issue is that the name field does not appear to preserve its case when publishing.

[tool.poetry]
name = "PyPortfolioOpt"
version = "0.3.2"
...

Becomes:

pyp

With setup.py, the case sensitivity is preserved on PyPI.

I know that there is no real difference which is why this is a minor issue, but stylistically it’s a tiny thing that I prefer about setup.py.

No, as I said there, that MR leaves poetry continuing to normalize project names at upload.

Unless and until pypa decide what the standards should actually be, and pypi do something about https://github.com/pypi/warehouse/issues/10030, it will remain impossible to do both of (i) publish with a pretty project name and (ii) normalize sdist and wheel names.

https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry-core/pull/484 continues in the direction of favouring normalization.

@justinmayer I’ve just tried with v1.0.0 – it’s still unresolved.
