Nowadays, PrettyTable package has been replaced with prettytable in PyPi. In the meanwhile in global-requirements we still have old name being mentioned[1]. This brings unpleasant inconsistency, considering that in upper-constraints it's called as prettytable[2]

Based on that I propesed patch[3] that aims to add prettytable package, so that affected projects could replace package in their requirements.txt in a timely manner.

I'm confused. PrettyTable and prettytable are the same thing as far as PyPI/Warehouse is concerned. Python package names are case-insensitive, so both of these normalize to an identical string. In fact, if you try to go to https://pypi.org/project/PrettyTable/ you will simply end up at https://pypi.org/project/prettytable/ anyway, same if you try to `pip install PrettyTable` then `pip freeze` will tell you that you have prettytable installed.

Can you elaborate on what problem the mixed-case version of the name is causing?
