PEP 541 Request: sgl

[rainy-lang]

Project to be claimed

sgl: https://pypi.org/project/sgl

Your PyPI username

rainylang: https://pypi.org/user/rainylang

Reasons for the request

The package name sgl was previously used for this project https://github.com/evernym/simple-grant-lang. However, this project has been deprecated.

I emailed the previous maintainer of the sgl package (@dhh1128), to inquire about purchasing the name and transferring ownership. I received a response saying they accepted my request and deleted the package:

Daniel Hardman 7:38 AM (6 hours ago)
I have deleted the project, freeing it for your use.
...

(The previous owner also replied to this issue below and verified this.)

As the project has now been deleted from pypi following my request, I would like to claim the name :)

However, when I try to upload my package, I got the following error:

WARNING  Error during upload. Retry with the --verbose option for more details.
ERROR    HTTPError: 400 Bad Request from https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/
         The name 'sgl' is too similar to an existing project. See https://pypi.org/help/#project-name for more
         information.

Could you help me claim the name of sgl? This case is very similar to a previously approved case (#2990)

Maintenance or replacement?

Replacement

Contact and additional research

I have received an email from the previous owner confirming deletion of the project which I can forward upon request.

Hi @di, would you mind taking a moment to look at this issue? Thank you.

@di @ewdurbin Is there any possibility of receiving some assistance with this issue?

This appears to be due ultranormalization resulting in a match with sg1 and sgi. (I don't play any part in deciding these requests, just providing the likely similar project names in the hope having the info in one place is useful).
