I suppose that's PEP 503. It speaks of name normalization: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
| The name should be lowercased with all runs of the characters ., -, |
| 13 |
| or _ replaced with a single - character. [1] |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Technically, a policy that would require only "normalized" name match |
| 16 |
would let us improve consistency when upstreams fail to do so. |
| 17 |
Unfortunately, while common tools search case-insensitively, they are |
| 18 |
sensitive to these characters (and I'm not convinced of changing that). |
