Add additional folder in namespace

[RobPasMue]

After giving it some thought.. we might have to add everything under a common folder - otherwise, if a user attempts the installation of pyansys-tools-report and ansys-tools-common in the future, they will have a conflicting namespace (even if the first one is deprecated).

I would suggest src/ansys/tools/common as the namespace

It seems very long to have ansys/tools/common/{tool}... couldn't we have used ansys/common/{tool}?? That shouldn't have namespace conflicts.

But yeah, I see no big deal with having ansys/tools/common/{tool}.

[germa89]

Well.. maybe then ansys-tools-visualization-interface will be an issue....

[RobPasMue]

Not only that but if you installed the old ansys-tools-path package for example you would enter a shadowing scenario. You would never know which one is being used. This is part of the deprecation strategy. We need to keep the namespace paths separate for a while at least

[germa89]

If we go for what I suggested we would have:

ansys-common-path instead of ansys-tools-path
ansys-common-visualization-interface instead of ansys-tools-visualization-interface
and so on..

I do not think there will be a shadowing scenario. But yeah, I am happy with the current approach though.

[RobPasMue]

You are right, sorry .. I didn't realize that you suggested changing the "tools" subfolder by "common". I still think that we should keep the "tools" concept rather than "common" alone but I am up for discussion

[germa89]

I dont mind either... it is just to not have so long name spaces. But yeah... I dont mind.
