Show HN: Check if PyPI package name is available (tool)

https://pypi.org/project/validate-pypi-name/

I kept on having to switch my PyPi package names after creating my setup.py file and source files- because seemingly all the best package names are taken. Or I kept getting "Your package name is too similar to existing package names," which is very vague and unhelpful. So I built a little package to help determine if your ideal package name is available. Enjoy!
