Is something going to change wrt accepting new stubs in TypeShed (see https://github.com/python/typeshed/issues/2440) and requiring approval from package owners ( https://github.com/python/typeshed/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#the-contribut... ).
This is actually the biggest driver of people asking me about a DefinitelyTyped equivalent for Python since approval from the project receiving the type hints is not required on DefinitelyTyped which some around here believe has allowed it to flourish while being a detriment to contributions to typeshed (whether that worry is founded or not).

I have now been asked this enough times that I'm asking all of you if there's a specific reason beyond lack of time and resources so I can give a more informed answer next time this question comes up? I found https://github.com/python/typeshed/issues/2491 which didn't suggest any particular issue with the idea other than time and resources. Or I guess another way to phrase the question is if someone created a site like DefinitelyTyped where things were highly automated and anyone could provide type stubs for any project on PyPI -- and maybe even automated initial type stubs -- would people be interested in such a thing or see any reasons why people would balk at it or not use it? It's just time and resources. Work on this has already started in the third-party-dist branch in the typeshed repository, but the main blocker in my opinion is the lack of support for namespaces in pypi/warehouse. Also IIUC Jukka (cc'ed) is going to spend a week or two early November working 100% on kick-starting the transformation of typeshed to a more modular model. -- Ivan
