Project Name Collision - Requirement already satisfied

[oliverholworthy]

There's already a python project called shovel (currently >600 stars on GitHub)

https://github.com/seomoz/shovel

Which causes a problem for pip install and module imports

pip install git+https://github.com/lyst/shovel.git#egg=shovel
Requirement already satisfied: shovel from git+https://github.com/lyst/shovel.git#egg=shovel

Potential Solutions

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0423/

• Rename the package and project from shovel to lyst.shovel
• Come up with another name that doesn't already correspond to a package in PyPI

hm, imho, a variation of shovel would be a better option. Maybe shovelit?
