Replying to a post with `!pypi` does not cause the bot to reply to the replied post.

[brass75]

Description

If you invoke !pypi as a response to a message it should trigger the bot to reply to the original message as it does with !learn, !resources, and others. (I understand that !rules was explicitly not included in this but AFAIK that was the only explicit exclusion.)

Steps to Reproduce

Reply to a message while invoking the !pypi command.

Expected Behaviour

The message that was replied to should also be replied to by the bot with the response to the !pypi command.

Actual Behaviour

The bot does not reply to the original message and the output of !pypi is a standalone message.

Known Impacted Platforms

• Web
• Desktop
• Android App
• iOS App

Possible Solutions

Port the functionality from other, similar, commands to !pypi

Would you like to implement a fix?

Note: For high-priority or critical bugs, fixes may be implemented by staff.

This isn't a bug, there is no default behaviour in the bot that command runs ping replied users.

This was added recently to !tag commands but was a specific inclusion.

This would be a feature request and would go through the same considerations as when adding to !tag on whether adding this functionality to more commands raises the chances of abuse.

I filed as a bug as my understanding is that it was intended to be added to this command as well and it was overlooked.

[jb3]

It wasn't, issue #3537 was specifically tags so that things like !learn would work, any other command that is not a tag was not in scope of that issue.

Due to the way commands work it is not possible to enable this behaviour across the board, it'd be something that would require some form of code change to every command we wanted to have it on.

Also, I've transferred this issue to the correct repository as !pypi is a command on the main bot instead of Sir Lancebot.
