Consider renaming?

[canni]

I have a project witch among others depends on 2 libraries, one of them depends on standalone bson package, and other depends on pymongo.

Now because pymongo from unknown to me reasons also exposes top-level bson module, with different API; this creates a shadowing problem, that is dependent on order of dependencies installation :/

Currently to get around it I have to do on my top-level package monkey-patching like that:

import bson
bson.loads = bson.BSON.decode
bson.dumps = bson.BSON.encode

Could we consider renaming the top-level package, with an alias for BC?

Nice idea. We can consider to add alias, not renaming.

That won't solve my case, but it's good enough, it might be good to also mention this inconsistency on pypi page (mongo docs already warn about name collision with this package)

I will change name to pybson.

import pybson

I uploaded pypi which names pybson
It just for looking demands.
if it has not enough demand, I can't maintain pybson name.
