  Doesn't look like the same project. One is the project used for doing testing in Python. The other is a messaging program.

    Oops indeed you are right! I was mistaken on the GitHub organization names for a second.

      Doesn't matter. Naming conflict is the worst thing could happen in open source/foss world.

        Only so many words you can use. It’s bound to happen eventually.
        yeukhon 8y ago
        Right, but at least does some Google and ack this is not tox.ini. That's what I would do in FAQ.

Not sure why you are being down-voted for stating something reasonable. Probably because you didn't add something "substantive". Sigh.

A lot of projects’ names conflict. That’s not an issue if they’re not in the same space, which is the case here: a CLI tests tool vs. a messaging application.

  True, being not in the same namespace resolves the confusion. But a decent chunk of people on this forum might end up using both (assuming the chat application takes off). If it's humanly possible, avoid name collision. I'll stop belabouring the point.

  Python tox first released was in 2010. Tox project started in 2013. I hope in the future authors of open source projects would do some Googling before deciding on name. The reason is people really get confused which one. Imagine this situation. Instead of tox, someone decided to named the tox project "Python". Tox is very famous in the Python community. This shows how unfortunate people doesn't care about naming.

    I only need a couple tests to check if my python is still alive. no need for any fancy tooling

      Have you ever shipped a python? It is best to isolate it and its dependencies otherwise unexpected things happen.

    Specially since is so easy to make it unique enough, like calling it toxx or toxprotocol.
