Consider the following:
requests - a python package for making HTTP requests. requestr - a python package for a fictional startup that allows you to send requests to your nearest and dearest.
Given they both could be typos of each other:
1) How do we determine which one to use? What if someone accidentally also tries "requestd", somewhere between the two ?
2) How do we apply the principle of least surprise - I asked to install requests, and everything installed just fine, but now I can't import it?!
$ pip install requestr
Package "requestr": did you mean "requests"? [Y/n]
(reason for this warning: similar spelling and requests is much more popular)
