PEP-541: Publish under retrying on PyPI

Open groodt opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Would the maintainers of this package be interested in obtaining the abandoned retrying name on PyPI? This is possible by either asking the current owner or through PEP-541.

I see the following benefits:

  • Existing users of retrying can use a maintained package with fixes and updates and improvements

I don't believe we need to be concerned with breaking changes:

  • A compatibility shim can be included for the imports
  • A new version would be published with a breaking version number and if anyone was not pinning they could be free to do so

We already asked the maintainer years ago to take over retrying as it was not maintained, but we never got any reply. I don't know what the status is, but last time I checked the maintainer was "MIA".

I'm not sure there's a huge value in shipping something with retrying, though I've nothing against it.

I suggest claiming the name on pypi via https://github.com/pypa/pypi-support/issues/new?labels=PEP+541&template=pep541-request.yml&title=PEP+541+Request%3A+PROJECT_NAME

There is a similar 541 request happening here. We can keep an eye on that approach and see how it plays out. https://github.com/pypa/pypi-support/issues/2064

@groodt @jd https://github.com/pypi/support/issues/2064 appears resolved and ownership transfer was completed. do either of you have any interest in continuing with this proposal for tenacity?
