PEP 541 Request: fluxy

[lionel42]

Project to be claimed

fluxy: https://pypi.org/project/fluxy/

Your PyPI username

lionel42: https://pypi.org/user/lionel42/

Reasons for the request

We want to publish our project on pypi, but it seems that another project already has the same name.

The project seems to be abandoned

• owner not reachable
  • We tried to contact the owner, but we do not find any contact email or account
  • No email provided in source code or on the pypi page of the current owner (https://pypi.org/user/kamilov2005/)
  • No repository found when searching on google
  • Maybe someone from pypi could get the email from the account and reach the owner ?
• no releases within the past twelve months
  • Last realease from 2023 (https://pypi.org/project/fluxy/#history) and only one day where all release occured
• no activity from the owner on the project’s home page (or no home page listed)
  • No home page found or any link, from neither pypi or google search

Representing the authors, I think we meet all the criterion (once you try to reach the owner through the email registered on pypi)

• the project has been determined abandoned by the rules described above;
  • As above
• the candidate is able to demonstrate their own failed attempts to contact the existing owner;
  • As Above, owner is not reachable
• the candidate is able to demonstrate that the project suggested to reuse the name already exists and meets notability requirements;
  • Currently the new fluxy project is under joint development between various collaborators, not sure what are the notability requirements exactly, but the project is cleary being used and active
• the candidate is able to demonstrate why a fork under a different name is not an acceptable workaround;
  • Changing the name of the project at this stage would require massive changes, so we stay fluxy
  • We though of uploading the package under a longer name (like fluxy-plots or fluxy-inversion or similar), but it seems like a non optimal solution and could create confusions for future users (when running pip install for example )
• download statistics on the Package Index for the existing package indicate project is not being used; and
  • From this https://pypistats.org/packages/fluxy is seems the number of download is quite small ( I am not an expert, but I would say no major users)
• the maintainers of the Package Index don’t have any additional reservations.
  • We are happy to answer any questions

Maintenance or replacement?

Replacement

Source code repositories URLs

We do not find any additional page than the pypi link given above of the current fluxy project.

Our project can be found at

Contact and additional research

As stated above, we could not find any information on the author's contact

Hi @lionel42,

We are working to contact the owner to determine if they're reachable and have sent them a courtesy message.

Final determination regarding project ownership will be made when the research process involved in PEP 541 issues is complete.
