Hello, I am concerned about the maintenance of PyFlakes for the long-term. It seems that the development has stalled with the end of http://divmod.org/
Since this occured, various forks of PyFlakes have emerged. Some of them for Python 2, others for Python 3. For example on Python 2 we have: - lp:divmod.org (upstream 0.5, development stalled) - pyflakes-ast (based on 0.4, hosted on bitbucket) - kevinw/pyflakes (based on 0.4, hosted on github) And on Python 3 there's the fork of Virgil Dupras pyflakes3k. Every fork has its own issue tracker, its own patches, but they are never collected back upstream or released to PyPI. Since 2009 I am the maintainer of the sister project http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pep8, and I followed the development of PyFlakes and Flake8 for a long time. Few days ago, the maintainer of Flake8 brought my attention on the need to fork PyFlakes in order to continue its maintenance. He started to publish it with a different name on PyPI. However, I would prefer to maintain PyFlakes with its historical name if we have the agreement of the current owner. I did a Big Merge and pushed it on GitHub: it is based on the lp:divmod.orgbranch and includes all the contributions from the various branches I have identified. I moved to a "single-code-base" compatibility for all Python versions from 2.5 to 3.3 (like the pep8 tool). And it is tested for all these versions. https://github.com/florentx/pyflakes I would be happy if someone could publish version 0.6 of PyFlakes based on this branch. The current owners are: - Moe Aboulkheir - Jean-Paul Calderone - Tristan Seligmann Or I can do it if one of the owners gives me the permission. My username is `flox`. Thank you for your attention. Happy Holidays, -- Florent Xicluna
