One thing I like about NPM/JSR, but miss in #PyPI, are namespaces. This basically solves the problem of the package name being taken, and it can also be a clear indicator of the source of the project. NPM goes even further and allows one to assign different namespaces to different registries (indexes).

But #Python also has namespaces! Moreover, the Zen of Python even says: "Namespaces are one honking great idea". I wonder why almost nobody is seriously using them, except for maybe Anthon aka ruamel, and Zope.

And, because I feel like nobody's using them, I wonder if I should start using them, or if I should just start thinking of better names for my packages
