Reasons for the request

This project is marked as too similar to existing projects

Uploading axi-0.0.0a1-py3-none-any.whl (1.5KiB)
error: Failed to publish `dist/axi-0.0.0a1-py3-none-any.whl` to https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/
  Caused by: Upload failed with status code 400 Bad Request. Server says: 400 The name 'axi' is too similar to an existing project. See https://pypi.org/help/#project-name for more information.

However, it's unclear to me why this is — it's a short name and the obvious similar name (axis) is not popular (see https://pypistats.org/packages/axis). It doesn't feel like this is a typo squatting threat.

Maintenance or replacement?

None

Source code repositories URLs

There is no current project to replace. Astral is considering using this name for a project (https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/tree/main/crates/red_knot).
