Bug#461087: Conflict with python-babel

Greetings,

There's a python-babel package for internationalization, which has a
Python namespace conflict with the Python runtime bindings for the SIDL
Babel.

As a possible resolution, how much stuff would I break by changing
"babel" to "sidl" in [sidl]setup.py?  I'm afraid I don't know a whole
lot about Python, so I'm out of my league here...

I am not really sure. I would probably go with something like "sidlbabel", "babelsidl", "sidl_babel", or "babel_sidl" if we're going to change it to make sure we don't have to change it again. In general, we don't install our Python extension modules in the Python system directory. Babel users have to specify a PYTHONPATH, and I think changing the name in [sidl]setup.py would change the directory name in the PYTHONPATH.

Do any current Babel users want to chime in?

Tom
