Ok, I’ve updated the PEP. You can see a diff at
https://github.com/python/peps/pull/74/files or the entire PEP at
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0527/ once that updated. However the
primary differences are:
* Added Nick Coghlan as the BDFL Delegate (Thanks Nick!).
* Expanded upon rationale for dropping everything but sdist/wheel/egg.
* Allow an sdist to be either .tar.gz or .zip, but still drop all other formats.
Hopefully that can adequately address Marc-Andre’s concerns for the removal of
the other file types, and the inclusion of .zip will address other folk’s
concerns about losing .zip.
Thanks for those updates.
My one remaining question would be whether or not we have any projects
that are in the habit of uploading both .zip and .tar.gz for the same
release - if there are, the restriction to only one sdist per release
will need to be included in the notification message to maintainers.
(The introduction of that restriction could probably be clearer in the
PEP text as well - previously it was implied by the single extension,
but it may need to be called out more explicitly now that there are
two permitted options).
My querying shows that we have a total of 359 projects that have ever
uploaded two sdists for a single release. Looking at the number of
releases that have 2+ sdists per project, it appears like there are a
handful that do it regularly, and then the vast bulk have only done it
once or twice (see: https://bpaste.net/show/fdfce63673ec).
I miss setuptools in this list. For the latest 26.0.0 there is a wheel,
a tar.gz and a zip, and that has been the case for a while.
https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py still explicitly looks for a zip
file. Occasionally the package maintainers forget this and an issue is
raised, though apparently this has been automated to avoid such a error:
https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/549
That said, I occasionally have erroneously uploaded a zip file when a
tarball for that same version was already there, or the other way
around. They contained potentially different code: either I forgot to
do a 'git pull' before releasing, or the previous uploader forgot to do
a 'git push'. Allowing only one sdist would have prevented this. But
really this is our own mistake.
I think I have always discovered this and removed the new distribution
and uploaded a full new version to avoid problems. I don't recognize
any packages in the list.
