Package name is not PEP 8 compliant

[pydsigner]

I realize that there are already many users of the package, but is there any possibility of the package's name being made to be PEP 8 compliant (and also match the js version)? It's a small issue but I'd much rather be looking at import commonmark than import CommonMark in my code.

Probably we could provide CommonMark as alias for the time being and the second next major version drop it.

Willing to send over a patch for it? =)

Should be pretty easy to do import CommonMark as commonmark, we could
also ship with the lower-case alias in the core distro. I wouldn't be
opposed to a PR that did this.

I'll try to get a PR prepared tonight.

I would also prefer commonmark over CommonMark! Thanks for bringing this up.

Also maybe worth noting that this repository could also be renamed to something like commonmark.py.

@pydsigner have you made any progress with this? To me it seems like a difficult problem to fix without making a new package. Also, when I navigate to https://pypi.python.org/pypi/commonmark it redirects me to https://pypi.python.org/pypi/CommonMark. It would be nice to change that as well but I don't know how.

[pydsigner]

@nikolas I unfortunately have been a bit busier than hoped, but I do have a plan of how to do this.

[nikolas]

Maybe this is just a matter of changing the name in setup.py from CommonMark to commonmark. And we would also want to move the CommonMark directory to commonmark. Of course, I would hate to break everyone's existing imports. Our readme directs users to import CommonMark.

[nikolas]

Alright, it looks like just renaming the CommonMark directory to commonmark, and changing all the imports solves this problem.

I've also symlinked CommonMark to commonmark for now, for compatibility. I've opened a pull request here: #131
