I would like to keep all Python binaries separated with the version suffix with a dash. That way it is clear the binary is versioned. Also, some files end with a digit, like 'pyrcc5' or 'autopep8'. If the dash was omitted, it would be 'pyrcc53.13' and 'autopep83.13' which is obviously very confusing.

I think this should be a standard across all the packages. Maybe one day we'll add a mechanism to rename them, instead of adding 'post-install' targets.

So, as for me, I would keep pip-${PYVERSUFFIX} with the dash.

Kind regards,
Adam
