Can anyone shed some light on the problem? By what logic buildout used a different name for that particular package?

While I don't know anything about buildout, pyramid-tm is the normalised version of pyramid_tm - see https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0503/#normalized-names

Oh, I see, thank you. Does that mean that the right thing I should do is always using such normalized names in my requirements.txt/versions.cfg?

I *think* it shouldn't matter. The problem will likely be with older tools not normalising. So using normalised names throughout might help such tools.

Thanks Paul. Yes, this is a buildout bug: https://github.com/buildout/buildout/issues/317 This case shed the light on the bug for me. Thanks. Jim -- Jim Fulton http://jimfulton.info
