[New-bugs-announce] [issue24633] Not a directory: '//anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/readme/__about__.py'

[Sébastien Celles]

New submission from Sébastien Celles:

Hello,

the package name "readme" conflicts with Python installed site-packages/README file on case-insensitive filesystems (Mac OS X).

https://github.com/pypa/readme/issues/26
https://github.com/mgedmin/restview/issues/30
https://groups.google.com/a/continuum.io/forum/#!topic/anaconda/AGHXzB1sN0I

I wonder if README file should be be renamed README.rst or README.txt or README.md to avoid this issue or if readme package should be renamed.

Kind regards
