scitools PyPI page uses old URL

https://pypi.org/project/SciTools/ uses old URL http://scitools.googlecode.com/ and suggests downloading http://scitools.googlecode.com/files/scitools-0.8.tar.gz which is the old version and is a 404

Unfortunately, it is not possible to modify the metadata on PyPi without making a new release and I doubt that will happen since SciTools is no longer maintained.

What about doing a pre-release ?

Is there any discussion happening about letting someone else maintain it?

Do you mean a post-release?

I am not familiar with any discussion about maintaining SciTools. If there was some interest in using it, I could probably maintain it myself, however I haven't seen much interest in a long while. Also, I do not have access to this repository unfortunately. I'm not sure anyone has access after Hans Petter sadly passed away. I have access to the package on PyPi though.

A pre-release is an option when uploading to PyPI that allows uploading a alpha/beta/whatever quality package. It is then available for people to fetch if they explicitly request the pre-release version string, but isnt automatically included as a valid upgrade path for everyone.
