Dash in module name makes reuse harder than necessary

[chrisv2]

I'd like to integrate some functionality of this nice project into my own Django app, unfortunately the top level module has a dash in it, so it is not easily importable:

# does not work => syntax error!
from ansibleguy-webui import aw

# this works, but breaks static analysis (e.g. IDE autocomplete)
import importlib
aw = importlib.import_module("ansibleguy-webui.aw")

Would you be open to a pull request changing the module from ansibleguy-webui to ansibleguy_webui?

Note: Turns out this is easier than I thought, see my branch here

[ansibleguy]

This is the name of the module on PIP this would break all existing installs.. :/
I've gone with this naming scheme as it is commonly used by the Ansible toolset.

Thank you very much for looking at my suggestion! The package name ansibleguy-webui is totally fine and does not need to be changed, it is only the name of the module which causes import issues. In other words, one would still do pip install ansibleguy-webui, only the run command would change (python -m ansibleguy_webui).

Making the top-level module importable would also allow to get rid of the sys.path hackery which is currently necessary to import aw, the actual Django app.

If you want it - you could provide a PR that adds another pypi action https://github.com/ansibleguy/webui/actions/workflows/release.yml where we additionally release the module under another name (ansibleguy_webui_plugin or something like that)
