Hi,

Describe the bug
I want to upload a package called 'pywlk' to PyPI (automated by GitHub Actions), but the upload is rejected with the error message as shown here.

Expected behavior
I'd expect that I can upload the package to PyPI as there is no package with the same name or a name that is too similar.

To Reproduce
See the GitHub action.

My Platform
Standard GitHub actions environment with Python 3.8 and ubuntu-latest OS.

Additional context
I searched the internet and found a StackOverflow entry explaining that PyPI checks uploads if the package name has type-distance to other packages, i.e., replace L with 1. Before trying to upload the package through GitHub Actions, I registered the package on my PyPI account as described on some official Python help website. But after failing, I removed that Pending Thingy waiting for me to upload the package; therefore, this should not block my upload. I deleted it more than 72 hours ago.

Thanks for your help.
Roman
