Mismatch error introduced by #2484 makes it impossible to create some trivial packages

[jsbueno]

Relative to issue #2484

What is even the purpose of that artificial restriction?

Anyway, I don't think it is mimicking whatever PIP does (if it does):
To be specific - I am editting a package with

[tool.setuptools]
# required named for package importing:
packages = ["pgu"]
 
@ ... 


[project]
# project name as published on pypi:
name = "pygame-pgu"

And uv pip fails with this mismatch error.

It installs without any issue with native pip.

I am ok if there is any workaround that could be set
in a [tool.uv] session, but I obviously need a workaround, or fix -
this can't really be such an uncomon thing. Just in the same
project I have to deal with pygame-ce which is imported
as pygame - but then the specifier is a suffix.
Thank you for taking the time to report an issue! We're glad to have you involved with uv.

My terminal output:

(env312) [jsbueno@fedora pgu]$ uv pip install .
error: Failed to build: `pgu @ file:///home/jsbueno/projetos/pgu`
  Caused by: Package metadata name `pygame-pgu` does not match given name `pgu`
(env312) [jsbueno@fedora pgu]$ uv --version

I am attaching the current pyproject.toml (being activelly modified) bellow

Can you share the output of running with --verbose? The invocation you'd want to see is pygame-pgu @ file:///home/jsbueno/projetos/pgu -- pgu @ file:///home/jsbueno/projetos/pgu is legitimately wrong.

[jsbueno]

Thanks -
The thing is then putting the project name separated by an @ of the project location - typing in
uv install "pygame-pgu @ ." worked for me

So I am ok if you consider this can be closed now - but the behavior from pip still differs - pip install ., without the project name just works.

Attaching the run with verbose next. (different machine and venv)

It looks like you have a PKG-INFO file in the directory that lists the name as pgu. Is that true?

[charliermarsh]

(Also, is this open-source? Can I test with it?)

[jsbueno]

Yes, there is indeed a PKG-INFO file there.

The project is here: https://github.com/parogers/pgu -
I have had commit access there for a while, and this week I took it to "ressurect" the thing - as it provide some tooling for pygame that is not widely available.

I am setting up the shift to pyproject.toml in the "pyproject" branch - https://github.com/parogers/pgu/tree/pyproject

[charliermarsh]

The issue is that PKG-INFO lists Name: pgu. But, isn't that incorrect? That's not the name of the package.
