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