I am mentoring packaging of https://github.com/mne-tools/mne-python and ATM their public python scripts (ATM 10 of them already) carry .py suffix. At first I blindly recommended to strip those off (https://github.com/mne-tools/mne-python/pull/865) but the problem is that there is a non-free original MNE which provides some of those tools implemented in C. Happen MNE gets freed (and packaged) or otherwise installed -- there would be a conflict (command line interface differs, alternatives is not the way).
So the easiest resolution is IMHO to maintain .py suffixes, but I feel unease about such a solution despite archive having a good number of precedents already. So the question is -- is there any other possible resolution I do not see here besides just keeping .py suffixes and providing a lintian override? -- Yaroslav O.
