Not allowed to upload to pypi but test.pypi

[edouard-lopez]

Describe the bug

I successfully upload my package to test.pypi.org (see. pure). However, when I try to upload to pypi.org I got an error 403:

HTTPError: 403 Client Error: The user 'edouard-lopez' isn't allowed to upload to project 'Pure'. See https://pypi.org/help/#project-name for more information. for url: https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/

Yet, there is no pure project on pypi.org.

Note that my package name is lowercase pure, but the error mention a capitalize name Pure.

Expected behavior

If package is accepted/refused by test.pypi.org it should be the same on pypi.org.

Additional context

User is the same between test.pypi.org and pypi.org, password differ.

This package already exists on PyPI, but the owner has removed all the releases (hence why it appears to be 404). I've reached out to the current owner to see if they would be willing to transfer it to you.

[rdpate]

Please transfer the package name.

Thanks @rdpate.

@edouard-lopez, I've added edouard-lopez as an owner of the Pure package. Please note that you won't be able to make a release with versions 0.0.0, 0.1.0, or 0.1.1 as these have been previously used, and PyPI prohibits reuse of version numbers.

[edouard-lopez]

Thanks :)

@di why is @rdpate listed as a maintainer? I would love to have contributors but I'm not sure that's the expected behavior.

[di]

@edouard-lopez They are the original owner. You can remove them if you want.

Hello @di I believe I'm in the same situation as @edouard-lopez. The project name in question is "otter". Is there a proper channel for me to request that the project be transfered to me? Thanks!

[di]

@chuck1 Please create a separate issue in this repo. There is a large backlog of similar issues, be aware that unless you reach out to the maintainer yourself, and they are receptive, it is unlikely that this will be resolved as quickly as this example.
