#36021: py-scikits-learn: name should be py-scikit-learn --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: yag532@… | Owner: stromnov@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Keywords: | Port: py-scikit-learn --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment(by stromnov@…): Yes, this name was selected for similarity/compatibility with other py- scikits ports. For some historical reasons all scikit(s) ports depends on 'scikits' python namespace (even when package was named as 'scikit-*'). Also, some of packages named as 'scikit_*', while other as 'scikit-*'. Although, currently some of this packages are subjects to rename: py-scikits-image - now lives only in 'skimage' namespace, so this port actually is no longer 'scikit' py-scikits-learn (actually py-scikit-learn) - lives in 'sklearn' and 'scikits.learn' python namespaces (note 'scikits.learn', but not 'scikit.learn') py-scikits-module - it's a package for handling 'scikits' python namespace in MacPorts. py-scikits-statsmodels - lives in 'statsmodels' namespace and in 'scikits.statsmodels' until version 0.5.x py-scikits-umfpack and other - see http://svn.scipy.org/svn/scikits/trunk/ For now (until package is not fully switched to 'sklearn' namespace) I think it preferably to keep current name, but add some aliases (such as 'sklearn' and 'scikit-learn') for searching purposes. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36021#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
