python3-apertium as Tino is referring to it is the SWIG/Python bindings for https://github.com/apertium/apertium. They currently export a `apertium_core` module. This allows for apertium-python (https://github.com/apertium/apertium-python), the GSoC project (from this year and last) to export an `apertium` module that under the hood uses bindings from the `apertium_core`, `lttoolbox`, and `constraint_grammer` Python packages (aspirationally also `hfst`). Since "apertium-python" is the more user facing version, having wrappers for analysis, taggers, translation, etc, it should in my opinion own the `apertium` module. Today, if you run `pip install apertium`, it is what you get. Running `apt-get install python3-apertium` should be consistent with it and it would be very odd otherwise. We chose `apertium_core` in order to avoid the naming conflict but I don't have a great solution as far as the Debian package goes. There weren't plans to export the package to Pip as well so we didn't really focus on it. [image: Sushain Cherivirala] *Sushain K.
