Original Pull Request: https://github.com/google/brotli/pull/1376

State: closed
Merged: Yes

PyPI now requires that wheel filenames and metadata use normalized package names following PEP 625. Modern build tooling automatically normalize this, however this does not happen for old python versions (e.g. 2.7, 3.6, 3.7) which makes their upload fail. I had to apply the same patch to the v1.2.0 release be able to upload all the python wheels to PyPI, see:

It makes more sense to have this in here and get rid of the patch, regardless of when we drop support for those EOL pythons.
