Reasons for the request

Hello

I am encountering an issue when trying to upload the package trl to PyPI test using the following command:

twine upload dist/* -r pypitest --repository-url=https://test.pypi.org/legacy/

The error I receive is:

ERROR    HTTPError: 400 Bad Request from https://test.pypi.org/legacy/                                                                                                                     
         The name 'trl' is too similar to an existing project. See https://test.pypi.org/help/#project-name for more information.

I suspect that the existing project tri might be the cause of this conflict, although I am not completely certain, since both trl and tri currently coexist on the main PyPI site.

Another hypothesis is that the conflicting project is trlx, which was removed a few days ago from PyPi test. Is there any delay before this deletion is reflected in your database?

Could you confirm if "tri" is indeed the conflicting project? If not, could you please identify which project is causing the issue?

Based on your response, I will reach out to the authors as outlined in PEP 541. If there is no response from the author, I will proceed by requesting the name removal. I would support this request by pointing out that tri is not maintained and is much less used than trl (128 vs 622k download/month).

Contact and additional research

None yet, as explained above, we can't know which project is conflicting. Guidance from you would help me identify the right person to contact.

Hi @qgallouedec,

Yes, because a project tri already exists, it is conflicting with the desired name of trl. Were you able to reach out to the authors of the tri project, and if so, did they get back to you? Let us know and we will go from there.
