setup.py:setup(project_urls=) can include URLs to the app store entries for the package; though other than displaying all project_urks, PyPI doesn't do anything special like show the App Store icon for URL values with specific key prefixes in project_urls.
Here's an example of specifying multiple project_urls: https://github.com/pypa/sampleproject/blob/master/setup.py#L196-L201 Would there need to be a PEP to specify specific key prefixes? for e.g. - prefix, store name - stores:fdroid, F-Droid - stores:playstore, Google Play Store - stores:appleappstore, Apple App Store - please advise regarding (URI) keys and stores On Fri, Nov 20, 2020, 12:08 PM Ricky Teachey <ri...@teachey.org> wrote: > On Fri, Nov 20, 2020, 11:00 AM Paul Moore <p.f.mo...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On Fri, 20 Nov 2020 at 15:44, Ricky Teachey <ri...@teachey.org> wrote: >> > >> > I was reading the pyinstaller thread and had this idea but didn't want >> to hijack. >> > >> > Maybe a wild idea, and very possible totally impractical or hopelessly >> complex, but: could the existing pypi infrastructure be leveraged into a >> set of platform-specific app stores?
