PEP 541 Request: deepcompare

[nezhar]

Project to be claimed

deepcompare: https://pypi.org/project/deepcompare

Your PyPI username

USER_NAME: https://pypi.org/user/USER_NAME

Reasons for the request

I am one of the maintainers of https://pypi.org/project/python-deepcompare/

We decided to refactor our project and simply name it deepcompare, as python in the name is redundant since it is published on pypi.

Our release pipeline failed however when we tried to create the new release:

         The name 'deepcompare' is too similar to an existing project. See      
         https://***.org/help/#project-name for more information.              
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

We also intended to publish a release on https://pypi.org/project/python-deepcompare/ mentioning the movement:

import os
from setuptools import setup
 
 
VERSION="2.0.0"
OLD_PACKAGE_NAME="python-deepcompare"
NEW_PACKAGE_NAME="deepcompare"
 
 
def get_description():
    return "{old_package_name} is deprecated now. Use {new_package_name} instead.".format(
        old_package_name=OLD_PACKAGE_NAME,
        new_package_name=NEW_PACKAGE_NAME,
    )
 
 
setup(
    name=OLD_PACKAGE_NAME,
    description=get_description(),
    long_description=get_description(),
    long_description_content_type="text/markdown",
    version=VERSION,
    install_requires=[
        NEW_PACKAGE_NAME,
    ],
    classifiers=["Development Status :: 7 - Inactive"],
)

Is there a way we can apply this?

This appears to be due ultranormalization resulting in a match with deep-compare. The difference of just a - might be similar to #5275.

(This information is purely fyi, I don't have any role in making decisions on these requests; the PyPI staff look at many factors and could make a different decision than in past cases).
