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?
