#68218 closed enhancement

py-nodeenv: rename to "nodeenv", dropping the "py-" prefix — at Version 3

Component: ports Version:
Keywords: Cc:
Port: py-nodeenv

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

The nodeenv tool is primarily a CLI tool as per its documentation, and does not appear to offer a public Python API. ​​https://ekalinin.github.io/nodeenv/

Therefore it seems like it should be renamed to "nodeenv", deprecating "py-nodeenv" and its subports.

(This was a copy-paste of my other ticket for py-csvkit, #68216. Hopefully that's OK. I would like to start contributing these changes myself soon!)

It is certainly possible that it's primary intended use is as a CLI tool. However, in this case the pre-commit package depend on it and uses it as a Python module. That is the reason it is a pyXY-nodeenv port and thus I will not change it. You can certainly use it as a CLI tool and install, for example, the py311-nodeenv subport; the CLI tool will be installed as nodeenv-3.11 suffixed by the Python version. That allows to install it for different Python versions side-by-side.

I guess one could circumvent potential issues by making sure that the Python versions for pre-commit and the nodeenv port are always the same. But then again, it works perfectly fine as is and I see no reason for a change. Your thoughts?
