Funding Warehouse Development/Deployment
by Donald Stufft Nov. 29, 2017

Nov. 29, 2017

As I’m sure most or everyone on this list is aware, the work to replace PyPI with Warehouse has been underway for quite awhile. I’m happy to say that we’ve now got funding from a MOSS grant that should finally help us get this across the finish line and deployed for “real”. You can read more about this at https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2017/11/the-psf-awarded-moss-grant-pypi.html <https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2017/11/the-psf-awarded-moss-grant-pypi.html> but the tl;dr is basically we’ve been awarded 170k with the explicit goal of that money being to launch Warehouse and shutdown legacy PyPI.

buildout & extra-path
by Alessandro Dentella Nov. 28, 2017

Nov. 28, 2017

Hi, I realized that extra-path is not always honored in buildout. I have a Django application that uses django-recipe with extra-path. I also want a pure ipython program that share the same sys.path. but if I write: [ipython] recipe = zc.recipe.egg eggs = ${buildout:eggs} extra-paths = ${buildout:directory}/apps I get a script that doesn't have the extra-path. I explicitly have to add: interpreter = ipython-dj is this the desired behaviour? sandro -- Sandro Dentella *:-) http://trepalchi.it Il portale degli artisti http://www.reteisi.org Soluzioni libere per le scuole http://sqlkit.argolinux.org SQLkit home page - PyGTK/python/sqlalchemy

pythonhosted.org doc upload no longer works
by Giampaolo Rodola' Nov. 26, 2017

Nov. 26, 2017

I know it was deprecated long ago in favor of readthedocs but I kept postponing it and my doc is still hosted on https://pythonhosted.org/psutil/ . I just took a look at: https://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=pkg_edit&name=psutil ...and the form to upload the doc in zip format is gone. The only available option is the "destroy documentation" button. I would like to at least upload a static HTML page redirecting to the new doc which I will soon move on readthedocs. Is that possible? Thanks in advance. -- Giampaolo - http://grodola.blogspot.com

PEP 517 reference consumer
by Thomas Kluyver Nov. 16, 2017

Nov. 16, 2017

I have found a bit more time to work on my PEP 517 consumer API: https://github.com/takluyver/pep517 It provides two main interfaces: - 'pep517.wrappers' is a lower-level interface to call the backend hooks in a subprocess. - 'pep517.envbuild' is a higher-level interface which creates a temporary environment, uses pip to install build dependencies, and builds a wheel or an sdist. I hope that some frontend tools will be able to use these interfaces directly, but I also intend it as a reference consumer which backend authors can use to test their implementation. As such, I'd like to propose moving the project into the control of the Python Packagaing Authority - i.e. transferring the Github repo and giving other people upload rights on PyPI. In other news, Flit 0.12 is out, providing a PEP 517 backend. Though come to think of it, I may have forgotten to use the tar pax format. Thomas

PyPI Limits of Wheel Size
by Phil Thompson Nov. 13, 2017

Nov. 13, 2017

I am hitting a limit on the size of a wheel when uploading to PyPI - the wheel is about 100M. When this has happened in the past I have contacted Donald who has been kind enough to increase the limit (I believe it is a per-project limit). Currently where should I make this request? Thanks, Phil

You should probably resend this to distutils-sig instead of python-ideas -- that's where discussions about python packaging happen. (Python-ideas is more for discussions about the language itself.) -n -- Nathaniel J. Smith -- https://vorpus.org

Where to get help changing ownership of Pypi package?
by Stuart Axon Nov. 5, 2017

Nov. 5, 2017

Hi, I realise this is the wrong place, but does anyone know who could help resolve ownership of the Pypi package PyCairo https://sourceforge.net/p/pypi/support-requests/728/ There are also a bunch of similar tickets, I guess nobody checks these any more ? :( S++
