Find a new name for the_engine
While reviewing https://gitext.gfz-potsdam.de/dynamicexposure/globaldynamicexposure/loss-calculator/-/merge_requests/8 a conversation about naming conventions in python came up. For this, it is good to look at pep8.
Modules should have short, all-lowercase names. Underscores can be used in the module name if it improves readability. Python packages should also have short, all-lowercase names, although the use of underscores is discouraged.
Thus, the_engine
doesn't seem to be an appropriate name for the package. @marius, @tara, and I were discussing this today and we agreed this needs a better same, as theengine
doesn't look nice, nor is very explanatory. So we would like to open a space for thoughts and some reflection to find a good name for our central processing technology.
As a constraint, I think we should make sure not to choose any name that already exists as a python project on pypi.org.
