Python attribute and pnames should be normalized according to https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/name-normalization/#normalization.

The following list of names, that need work, was provided by @adisbladis in the nixpkgs python room.

Cc'ing people who are currently doing the work in the python ecosystem.

The workflow would be to

  1. Normalize pname in the derivation
  2. Normalize the directory name
  3. Normalize attribute name and path in pkgs/top-level/python-packages.nix
  4. Update all references to the old attribute name treewide
  5. Create an alias in pkgs/top-level/python-aliases.nix for the old attribute name
  6. Commit python311Packages.newname: rename from oldname
