Hi everyone
From time to time I hear the same advice :
Please use a different prefix than
Py, to avoid clashes with the big, slow-moving project.
What if we use Yp as a shortcut for this advice, like : Be Yp! (which is be careful), Use Yp, just Yp, or something like that.
Yp = Any prefix except Py.
It’s just an idea to save some bytes for the Python community.
Thank you.
It’d be useful to provide the context for that advice: when writing C extensions and macros, to avoid clashing with the CPython codebase.
Given that: if everyone standardized on this other prefix, wouldn’t they just start to clash with each other? It seems like the right thing to do is for each project to try to pick their own unique prefix, to the extent possible.
Moved to general help/discussion.
Yep, you are right, but I did not suggest to use Yp as a prefix, I suggest to use it as a way to refer to using your own prefix. It’s just a shortcut to say any prefix except Py.
Thank you for your support
