Fair point. Not entirely sure how to fix that. I'll look in to it...

PKG-INFO, line 2:

Name: fs

Looks like it's also registered in PyPI as "fs", from the URL: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/fs/

Maybe have a proxy https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyfilesystem that has `fs` as a requirement? That way even if people install with `pip install pyfilesystem`, you're good.

Hmm. That's an idea. Feels like a hack though. Do you know if there is a precedence for that?

We're planning on something similar to move a big open source library somewhere else (so that dependencies don't break).

If you run pip install py.test it fails with a message that you should run pip install pytest.
