There is an easy improvement and a difficult one I can propose. The easy one is adding -examples to the list of ignored package suffixes. The difficult one is deriving the module name from the list of files. My initial mail contains a genlist.py that shows my technique for computing the module name. Essentially it looks for all *.py files, trims .py, then trims /__init__ and then looks for a common prefix of all .py files. If there is a single prefix, then we found the module name. This finds things such as: * python-azure-storage -> azure.storage (likely the binary package should be renamed to python-azure.storage) * python-ball -> BALL * python-bd2k -> bd2k.util * python-bpfcc -> bcc * python-distutils-extra -> DistUtilsExtra * python-djangorestframework-gis -> rest_framework_gis * python-dogpile.cache -> dogpile * python-fftw -> fftw3 * python-pastewebkit -> paste.webkit (again rename to python-paste.webkit?) * python-pyscss -> scss * python-pysnmp4 -> pysnmp * python-tcpwrap -> pytcpwrap I'm not sure how I'd add this to the generate script, but there clearly is room for improvement over s/-/_/. There also is room for improving our package naming. Would it help to get a list of binary packages that could be covered by the current autodep8 if they were named correctly (according to the Python Policy)? Actually renaming them might make ftp masters a bit grumpy though. Helmut
