PyPI release?

[lordmauve]

Hi - I found your library very useful for my last PyWeek entry What The Frog?!.

But I ended up having to vendor the library (as a git submodule).

Have you thought about creating a PyPI package for it?

Hey, I forked this repo as it looks inactive and published the package at https://pypi.org/project/earcut/

Thank you so much! ❤️
If you like, I can put a link to your repo in the main README.md.

Sure, it's this fork: https://github.com/MetacitySuite/earcut-python
And this package: https://pypi.org/project/earcut/

I have upgraded a bit since I forked it. it works still the same for 2D data. but now it also correctly triangulates 3D polygons regardless of their orientation (the original implementation didn't work when the polygon was perpendicular to the xy plane).

Hey, at @MetacitySuite we recently transferred to using the c++ version of the mapbox earcut lib and added our own python interface and thus discarded the fork of this repo. The pure-python deployed version on pip remains available, but I don’t know how to handle any possible future updates.

Proposed solutions:
a) I could transfer the fork from the company account to my personal and maintain the package on my own including pip updates.
b) On the other hand, it would be nice if we could deploy to pip directly from the original repo and keep the package in a single repo. I would be willing to take care of it given the access. My question is - is the repo still alive?
