Hi Robin,
thanks for the explanation. If that's a rule it's not applied very
consistently then: see python-black, python-pip and plenty of other
packages in the arch main repo that also have an executable in bin. I'll
work things out with @Xeonacid. I see he added me as a co-maintainer,
thanks.

Hello Guillaume,
The `python-` prefix is reserved for packages that (only) provide python
libraries / modules. The docformatter package provides
`/usr/bin/docformatter` which can be used as-is. The sole reason that it
is a program developed in python or that it should be used in a python

Can this merge be reconsidered? The right name should be
python-docformatter. This is a python package to format python docstrings,
it clearly belongs to the python ecosystem, like python-black for instance.
In any case, if there is a disagreement on the name, giving some notice to
the original mai
Can this merge be reverted? The python-docformatter name was perfectly
legitimate. In addition, nobody contacted me to suggest a name change. User
creates a new package with no dependency, asks for a merge on the same day
and this is accepted. This is just package stealing, and it breaks another

That was my read too. Can this be reverted? I don't think this merge was
the right call, thanks.

python-docformatter seems to qualify as "a program that is strongly coupled
to the Python ecosystem".
>From ArchWiki Python package guidelines [a]:
Python 3 library modules, use python-modulename. Also use the prefix if the
package provides a program that is strongly coupled to the Python ecosyst
This seems like a pretty bogus reason. There are plenty of python packages
which have a bin entry point with a python- name. Is that an official arch
policy? This package is mostly used as a library.

[Autogenerated] Accepted merge for python-docformatter into
docformatter.

Xeonacid [1] filed a request to merge python-docformatter [2] into
docformatter [3]:
The package has a binary at `/usr/bin/docformatter`, it should not
have a `python-` prefix which is for pure library.
