Latest version (eg 0.2.3) not downloadable from Pypi

[pdorrell]

Adding this to my requirements.txt doesn't work:

midi==0.2.3

Instead I have to do this:

https://github.com/vishnubob/python-midi/archive/v0.2.3.zip

Sadly, the person who registered python-midi is not me, and I can't seem to contact him/her to transfer control of the registration. If you are reading this, and you know someone within the Pypi community that could help, please contact me.

Giles, are you not the person who registered 'midi', ie at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/midi/0.2.3 ?

'midi' seems perfectly fine as a Pypi package name, and I don't think it matters that your source code is in a Github repo called 'python-midi'.

+1, have had various reports of problem with this.

1. pip install midi doesn't work, it gives:

   Collecting midi
   Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement midi (from versions: )
   No matching distribution found for midi
   

   It does show up on PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/midi but my guess is that because there are no packages on PyPI (only a directory entry, giving URL, description, etc), it can't install anything from there.

2. pip install python-midi does work, but it installs "v0.2.4", which as far as I can tell is a made-up version. Regardless, it was uploaded on 2014-12-15, so it is considerably out of date.

Is there any chance we can get a new release (preferably tagged to), and uploaded to PyPI in the midi channel?
