Decision: PyPI distribution name for DynosAI 1.0

Status: Accepted
Date: 2026-09-04
Release: 1.0.0-rc.6

Context

The product name is DynosAI. The Python import package is dynosai_flow. Until RC6 the PEP 621 distribution name in pyproject.toml was dynosai-flow, which setuptools turns into wheels named dynosai_flow-*.whl. Nothing has been published to PyPI or TestPyPI.

Stable 1.0 needs one public distribution name. Changing it after publication is a migration. Changing it before publication is not.

Checked on 2026-09-04:

Index	Name	HTTP
pypi.org	`dynosai`	404 (not registered)
pypi.org	`dynosai-flow`	404 (not registered)
test.pypi.org	`dynosai`	404 (not registered)

dynosai is therefore available to this project. There is no installed-base of dynosai-flow to migrate.

Decision

Use:

PyPI distribution: dynosai
Python import:     dynosai_flow
CLI:               dynosai
legacy CLI:        dyno
MCP serverInfo:    dynosai-flow

The import package stays dynosai_flow so provider configs, tests and dynosai-mcp entry points do not churn. MCP serverInfo.name stays dynosai-flow because that wire identity is already in the 1.0 compatibility surface.

This RC does not publish to PyPI. The supported zero-source install path remains a verified local/GitHub Release wheel plus checksums:

pipx install ./dist/dynosai-1.0.0rc6-py3-none-any.whl
uv tool install ./dist/dynosai-1.0.0rc6-py3-none-any.whl
python scripts/install_local_wheel.py --wheel dist/dynosai-1.0.0rc6-py3-none-any.whl

pip install dynosai from the public index is reserved until a later explicit publication. GitHub Release wheels carry SHA256SUMS.txt. SLSA/GitHub attestations may be added on the first GitHub Release that is actually cut; they are not faked in this candidate.

Consequences

Wheel filenames change from dynosai_flow-* to dynosai-*.
Import, CLI and MCP tool names do not change.
A later rename back to dynosai-flow would be unnecessary churn.
