Importing Python libraries with hyphen in the name

Question

I create a Python library. It requires a Git repository and a name. I name it my-library and also inside the package folder my-package.

How should I:

1. install library my-library after I upload it to PyPI?
2. import the package my-package after I install the library?

Answer 1

You can name and install it from PyPi as "my-package" but you have to import it as "my_package"
