[15:42:58] <tmaliborski> Is it possible to give a package an alias when you install it via pip? Can I do something like "pip install <actual-package-name> -alias <alias-name>" and then refer to the module <alias-name> within projects?

[15:43:23] <dude-x> tmaliborski what's the problem you're trying to solve?

[15:45:24] <tmaliborski> I have a local project I'm trying to install as a package and (there may be a deeper issue for sure) it's being installed as local-project (with dashes) even though everywhere in the project it's defined as local_project (with underscores). If it's installed with dashes in the name, importing it becomes impossible

[15:46:03] <tmaliborski> I'm mostly just curious if there's away around this naming issue using just pip, I'm going to keep looking for the deeper problem in either case

[15:48:58] <dude-x> it's normal for a package to be named with dashes, but how you import it shouldn't matter

[15:49:07] <dude-x> it should be the package root name

[16:01:47] <tmaliborski> i think this is actually a deeper issue so I'll take my concerns elsewhere

[16:01:50] <tmaliborski> thanks though!
