Conflict between python-slugify and awesome-slugify

I am using the awesome-slugify python library (1.6.5) but for another Django app I need also to use the csvkit python library (version 1.0.3). Once I install the csvkit (pip install csvkit), I start getting an error when importing the Slugify.

I figured out, that this is cause csvkit also required the python-slugify (2.0.1) in order to work.

There is a conflict between awesome-slugify and python-slugify.

In the past I have used all 3 together without any issue. The versions I have used were the following:

  1. python-slugify: 1.2.4
  2. csvkit: 1.0.0
  3. awesome-slugify: 1.6.2

I thought I could solve the issue by doing:

  1. pip install csvkit==1.0.0 <-- this still installs the latest python-slugify
  2. pip install python-slugify==1.2.4
  3. pip install awesome-slugify==1.6.2

But unfortunately it doesn't seem to work because somehow the two slugify libraries share the same folders. The problem is that python-slugify is installed as a dependency of the csvkit. So it's not straightforward to me, how I could define the folder name of the installation inside the site-packages..

What a mess..

Both python-slugify and awesome-slugify use the same top-level directory slugify. There is no way to install both at the same time. And there is no way to change the directory because import slugify (in csvkit, for example) requires the directory to be named exactly slugify.
