Namespace conflict with djangular

[fladi]

There is another module which uses the same package namespace djangular:
https://github.com/appliedsec/djangular

This is rather unpleasant as it disallows to install both packages at the same time.

Good point, but what are the options?
I could rename the module from djangular -> ???. I'd rather prefer not having the name django inside the modules name, so django_angular is not an option. Do you have any other suggestions? Could angular by itself be a good module name?

However, I don't get the intention of djangular. It's a kind of wizard, to start projects using AngularJS. Its intention is to unload the responsibility from server-side rendering to the client, whereas the intention of my module is, to keep that in Django. In former projects, I made bad experience trying to let the client do to much of the "dirty" work, so I switched back to server side modeling/rendering/validation. Always think about Kindle users.
Moreover, I dislike the idea of having AngularJS controllers/providers/directives dynamically rendered. This makes it impossible to use tools, such as Jasmine, to write pure Javascript unit tests.

My proposal: If there are features in djangular you really like, tell me, and if they make sense, I will implement them in django-angular, doing them my way.

How about "angular-dj'?

Declined. Module names may not contain dashes, and btw. I don't like it.
Something else to consider: On PyPI my module last month hat 1603 downloads, whereas the djangular module "only" had 605. So why should I bother ~2.5 times as many users with a module renaming?

This feature in Django 1.7 should help resolve this without renaming anything:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/applications/#configuring-applications

The one thing I use djangular for is getting access to the settings variables (so I can point angular at the right urls etc).

That being said, #35 is all about renaming...so....is not renaming still an issue?
