My sentence was about "python3.9" not being more annoying than
"python-3.9".
I wonder, why do you consider periods in names confusing?
We have around ~100 source package names with dot. Most of them have
versions, e.g.:
clang9.0
The standard confusing part is if you are used to seeing a . only in the
version or release parts.. you scan down and see
dotnet3.1-3.1.2-40
my usual mistake is where I do a stupid programming and do something like
ls -1 | awk '{split($0,a,"."); print a[1]}' | whatever I needed for
just
the names of rpms
which for most packages will give me the Name-Ver[.sion removed]. it is
lazy script programming but it works often enough that my brain wants it to
work all the time than doing something like
ls -1 *rpm | xargs rpm --qf='%{NAME}\n' -qp | whatever i needed for just
the names of the rpms.
dotnet3.1
freerdp1.2
llvm5.0
llvm6.0
llvm9.0
jboss-jsf-2.1-api
jboss-jsf-2.2-api
jboss-jsp-2.2-api
jboss-jsp-2.3-api
Some use dot as a separator, e.g.:
R-R.utils
R-data.table
R-futile.logger
R-futile.options
R-gamlss.dist
R-lambda.r
R-statnet.common
openoffice.org-diafilter
python-boolean.py

The biggest advantage I see is getting closer to upstream.
The command that the user executes is "python3.9", not "python39".
I know no other place in the Python ecosystem where Python 3.9 is called
"python39" than the names of RPM packages (or other Linux distro packages).
I've googled "python36", "python37" etc. and all I could find
was
Fedora/RHEL/CentOS related (or AUR). We have invented that naming
ourselves and
we don't like being different :)
(There is the "py39" short identifier used e.g. in tox, but not
"python39".)
