Markdown-icons is taken on pypi

[sander76]

It seems the "markdown-icon" package is already used on pypi. Can't see why, but it gets rejected when trying to upload. Do you own the package name? If not we should change the name.

@sander76 The name is actually markdown-icons.

I don't have anything on PyPI

[sander76]

Typo: I mean markdown-icons

[MadLittleMods]

It looks like people have already published this to PyPI (not me IIRC) Edit: looks like you 😆

• https://pypi.org/project/markdown-iconfonts/

https://pypi.org/project/markdown-icons/ just gives me a 404 though

[sander76]

Yes! Wanted to be sure we could at least use this name...

@MadLittleMods
Ok my idea is the following:

• Let's branch your original to a v2 or something to keep serving users of the old plugin. (Not going to publish to pypi)
• Bump the master branch to v3. See my proposal here

My v3 proposal involves the following:

• pypi package name is "markdown-iconfonts"
• removed the django examples as I don't have any idea whether it works or not (I have zero experience with django)
• Changed readme to follow the currently accepted markdown config options.
• Code formatting according to black
• Python 3 support only (py2 will probably work but not checked for)

@sander76 Sounds good, I created a v2 branch

You can now have all of the v3 changes against master in a pull request
