Create a `Framework :: Pillow` Trove classifier?

[hugovk]

There are lots of plugins for Pillow on PyPI, but they can be hard to find.

Here's a few, and their maintainers:

1. https://pypi.org/project/pillow-avif-plugin/ @fdintino
2. ✅ https://pypi.org/project/pillow-heif/ @bigcat88
3. https://pypi.org/project/pillow-jpls/ @planetmarshall
4. https://pypi.org/project/pillow-jxl-plugin/ @Isotr0py
5. https://pypi.org/project/pillow-mbm/ @drewcassidy
6. https://pypi.org/project/pillow-stackblur/ @pix666
7. https://pypi.org/project/pillow-svg/ @gribbg
8. https://pypi.org/project/DjvuRleImagePlugin/ @Piolie
9. https://pypi.org/project/heif-image-plugin/ @homm
10. https://pypi.org/project/jxlpy/ @olokelo
11. https://pypi.org/project/pyheif-pillow-opener/ @ciotto
12. https://pypi.org/project/raw-pillow-opener/ @samuelduann

To remedy this, I suggest we request a Trove classifier, for example, Framework :: Pillow.

PyPI's guidelines (taken from https://github.com/pypa/trove-classifiers/issues/121):

The PyPI moderators are in the process of developing a few guidelines for the creation of new Framework classifiers. Because removing classifiers is very difficult, and the longer the classifier list gets the harder it is to browse, I think we're expecting the bar to add new ones to be relatively high. Currently, we're looking at these guidelines:

• New Framework classifiers should be created if they are "notable;" and
• They will be of immediate use to existing projects (in other words, no creating classifiers simply in anticipation of future uses)

We understand that "notability" is subjective and we'd appreciate help judging that.

As to the other guideline ('immediate use to existing projects'), it's been suggested that

• Requestors can demonstrate this by providing links to 10 or more existing PyPI projects that have expressed a desire to use the classifier; or
• Another way to demonstrate this would be to have 10 or more other project maintainers submit comments on the requesting issue about their desire to use the classifier.

Are you a plugin maintainer? Would you like to use a Framework :: Pillow classifier? If so, please comment, saying which plugin you maintain.

Once we get ten, I'll open a request with PyPI.

Thank you!

I am ok without the new classifier. I would like to see a list of supported Pillow plugins somewhere in the documentation or readme file, so that people can find them more easily, if they need them.

Yes, a plugin list is a good idea 👍

Fyi, regarding https://pypi.org/project/pyheif-pillow-opener/, the GitHub page (https://github.com/ciotto/pyheif-pillow-opener) states

This project is discontinued in favour of heif-image-plugin.
