3.1.3 Missing from pypi

[jgillick]

My organization was using 3.1.3, which is no longer available from pypi. Is this version no longer supported?

I've been having problems uploading 3.1.4 to PyPI, which meant I accidentally deleted the 3.1.3 file. There doesn't seem to be any way of putting it back, and I can't yet get a new version up there.

So 3.1.3 is still available, just not from PyPI until I can get this sorted. And 3.1.4 will be available as soon as I get that sorted.

I can't re-upload 3.1.3 to PyPI (it won't let me), but 3.1.4 is now available and is ever so slightly better!

Reopening just to make the issue more visible, as this seems to be tripping up a few people. If you really need 3.1.3 then you can get it via the git repository, otherwise you should be using 3.1.4.

@scott-griffiths getting 3.1.3 back up on PyPI would be much appreciated...

Have you tried via this link (once logged in to PyPI)?

https://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=files&name=bitstring&version=3.1.3

[scott-griffiths]

Yes, I've tried that - you can't upload a file with the same name as a previous file. So I can't call it 3.1.3. And calling it anything else wouldn't work.

The fix is to use 3.1.4 instead - is there any reason this doesn't work or is difficult for you?

Our recipes for Python 2.7.11 include bitstring 3.1.3, and we prefer sticking to that (we don't bump versions in existing recipes), cfr .easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs#2819

Of course, we can download the source tarball from this GitHub repo though.

But still, I'm hoping for a way to actually fix this on PyPI. It's very hard to grasp the fallout that this may have...

See for example http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/03/23/npm_left_pad_chaos/ (not Python, but it gives a good idea of what can happen when stuff disappears 'upstream').

I'll get in touch with PyPI when I can and see what they suggest. Cheers.

@scott-griffiths ping on this?

[scott-griffiths]

I don't think this is going to happen any time soon. PyPI don't seem to be able to get download counts or even pointing to the latest version of a module right, so this problem seems a low priority.

Just released 3.1.5. I'll try not to accidentally delete any old versions again, but I think that's the best I can do.
