You also used a version signifying that you were making a backwards-compatible change to the existing package (see [semver](http://semver.org/)). Not only is this an entirely different package, it's also incompatible with the one already released (e.g. different namespaces; different API).\r\n\r\nI think it's generally not good etiquette to clobber packages in PyPi, even if the purpose is similar. It took us half a day to track down our failing integration tests to this release.\r\n\r\nI would encourage you to either pick another package name, or do a major version bump (e.g. 1.0) to indicate that this is a backwards incompatible change.\r\n\r\nThank you."}}
