PEP 541 Request: hippo

[JBorrow]

Project to be claimed

PROJECT_NAME: https://pypi.org/project/hippo

Your PyPI username

USER_NAME: https://pypi.org/user/jborrow

Reasons for the request

Hello, we would like to use this PyPI project name and have not been able to contact @blnkoff as there is no e-mail associated with the project on PyPI and they have no public e-mail on GitHub. @blnkoff requested this name transfer in #5158 which was granted in February 2025 but no code has been pushed, with no repository under either their personal GitHub or their affiliated company (https://github.com/CrocoFactory), and as such contact could not be made via any open source issue tracker.

We have a pre-existing active open source project with active deployments that is ready to push: https://github.com/simonsobs/hippo.

Maintenance or replacement?

Replacement

Source code repositories URLs

Current project has no URL and URL was not provided in prior transfer issue #5158

https://github.com/simonsobs/hippo

Contact and additional research

Research described above; unable to contact due to lack of public contact address and no project with appropriate name to raise an issue against.

Unfortunately, I can't help, my team is working on this library. There is package release recently

[JBorrow]

Thanks for your response! Unfortunately it seems that the package is completely empty, only containing a single __init__.py file, uploaded just shortly before your comment. Is there an open source repository containing the project that's in progress? I worry that the currently published package may fall afoul of the PyPI name squatting, under invalid projects, policy.

Thanks for your attention. Our engineer has deployed the release from the wrong branch, it has already been fixed. If you are engaged in ML tasks, you can try our library.

Hi folks,

It looks like you all are resolving this among yourselves, which is good. I am closing this as resolved from our end.
