I think PEP 386 (about versions) should be mentioned in "Relationship
with other PEPs" section.

Why? Right now, I can't see the relationship between
projects/packages/modules names and versions.


About "Use a single name" section: sometimes one needs to add "python-"
or "py" prefix to project name (f.e. if the name is already used in
other programming languages and you cannot register it in your favourite
forge hosting service)... but please don't add the prefix also in namespace.
All these PyQts, pyudevs, pygames and pyopencls sound stupid to me (isn't
it obvious that when I do `import foo` in Python, "foo" is a *Python*
library?)

Do you mean:

* "pip install pyqt" =>  yes,
* "import pyqt" =>  no,
* "import qt" =>  yes?

Currently, if the project name is "pyqt", then the PEP
proposal recommends "pip install pyqt" and "import pyqt",
to make the name consistent. If one is not a good choice,
change both.
It is convention over configuration.

IMHO, a "py" prefix for package name would not be a problem
in this case. You are not importing Qt itself, but Python
bindings for Qt.

I mean, yes, it is obvious that when I do `import foo` in
Python, then "foo" is a *Python* library. But would the
reverse assertion be that if I see "import qt" in Python
code, then it is obvious that Qt itself is a Python library?

The name could have been "qtbindings", would have it been a
problem then? The "py" prefix has the advantage to be clear:
that's *Python* bindings for Qt. And it's a really short
prefix.


About ".contrib.": flask uses flask.ext.foo (namespace) and Flask-Foo
(project name) schema for Flask extensions - maybe it's worth mentioning
in this PEP as well.
Maybe it will be used in discussions or in examples, but
I suppose the PEP is not the place to list all project-specific
conventions. Currently the draft PEP tells: "search for
specific conventions in main project (Flask) documentation".
