Should I write jupyter_server or jupyter-server when using pip install?

When pip installing the jupyter server package, it seems that

pip install jupyter_server

and

pip install jupyter-server

do the same thing.

Is that right? Why are the package names with underscore and hyphen both OK?

The same goes to jupyter_client and jupyter-client.

Solution

  • Pip replaces underscore with dash by default, so you always install the same package (jupyter-server).
