name conflict with pyhalo

[dangilman]

Hi,

My name is Daniel Gilman, I’m an astrophysicist at the University of Toronto (this is my website if you want to verify I’m a real person http://www.astro.utoronto.ca/~gilman/). It seems we have both decided that “pyHalo” is a great name for a python package to be registered on pypi.org such that it may be pip-installed. The name conflict is preventing me from uploading my own pyHalo package, which you can find here: https://github.com/dangilman/pyHalo.

I notice that your package registered as pyHalo https://github.com/gitFurious/PyHaloFour hasn’t had any code pushed to it in 7 years, so I wondered if maybe that software is no longer in active use or development? If that is the case, I am wondering if you wound’t mind un-registering PyHaloFour from pypi.org so that I can register my own code under the name pyhalo. Of course, if doing this is would be really inconvenient for you or anyone else who might be using PyHaloFour, I can search for another solution.

Thanks, and stay safe,

• Daniel
