In the latter case the pakcage name would be right but then rst2odt, the manpage etc. shoudln't be in there. OTOH, this looks like a private module for just the rst2odt program, in which case the package should be called rst2odt. Splitting the package up doesn't make that much sense given that it's a) a internal module and b) __init__.py is only 88K First of all, the package enhances python-docutils in that it adds an extra output format, a “writer,” to its capabilities. A minimum-size re-implementation of rst2odt could look like this: #!/usr/bin/python from docutils.core import publish_cmdline publish_cmdline(writer_name='odtwriter') (The real implementation of rst2odt is longer because of operating systems which make a difference between text and binary file output.) Therefore, the module is not really private; it is at least known to docutils and can be used in any program which uses docutils’ API. Then, the main reason why I have chosen to use this name is that calling it rst2odt would be inconsequent; python-docutils also contains rst2* scripts and is not named after them, even though they arguably provide the interface that is used most of the time. So I think it is not the worst solution to stick with “python-odtwriter”—something like “python-docutils-odtwriter” would still make sense to me, but that’s a bit bulky.

Hi, Then, the main reason why I have chosen to use this name is that calling it rst2odt would be inconsequent; python-docutils also contains rst2* scripts and is not named after them, even though they arguably provide the interface that is used most of the time. Python module packages are supposed to be anmed after the module they contain. So if you use import foo in your code to import a module, the package would be called python-foo. So I think it is not the worst solution to stick with “python-odtwriter”—something like “python-docutils-odtwriter” would still make sense to me, but that’s a bit bulky. So python-docutils-writers-odtwriter would be the right name in theory, but this doesn't make sense, indeed. I don't have a better idea than python-odtwriter, though.
