parallect 0.3.0

Compatibility shim for the 'parallect' PyPI name. The canonical distribution is now 'parallect-cli'.

parallect (compatibility shim)

Heads up: The PyPI distribution parallect has been renamed to parallect-cli as of 0.3.0. This package exists only as a backward-compatibility shim so that pip install parallect keeps working.

What this package does

This wheel does two things:

1. Depends on parallect-cli==0.3.0, so installing it transparently installs the real package. Everything still works:

   pip install parallect        # installs parallect-cli under the hood
   parallect research "…"       # CLI command is unchanged
   python -c "import parallect" # import name is unchanged
   

2. Installs a tiny sentinel module (parallect_deprecation) which parallect-cli detects on import and uses to emit a DeprecationWarning, so you know to migrate your install command.

What you should do

Update your pip install command in requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, CI scripts, Dockerfiles, and docs from:

-pip install parallect
+pip install parallect-cli

Nothing else needs to change. The import name (import parallect), the CLI entry point (parallect …), the configuration directory (~/.config/parallect/), and the public API are all unchanged.

Timeline

• 0.3.0 (this release): legacy name installs the canonical package and emits a DeprecationWarning on import.
• Future release (3–6 months out): legacy name will hard-error at install time, directing users to pip install parallect-cli.

The parallect name will never be deleted, yanked, or transferred.

Why the rename?

The bare name parallect is overloaded across the ecosystem (brand, hosted SaaS, OSS CLI, Claude Code plugin). Separating the CLI into its own distribution name (parallect-cli) frees the bare parallect name for the umbrella brand, while keeping import parallect and the parallect shell command stable for existing users.

See parallect/prx-ecosystem#3 for context.
