[Distutils] A process for removal of PyPi entries

2013-05-31 Thread Radomir Dopieralski
Hello,

is there a defined process for removing useless entries from PyPi?

I was looking for a name for a new project, and as a part of that, I searched
on the Python Package Index to see if the names I came up with are not taken
already. I stumbled upon this:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/fun/1.0.0

Please note that there is absolutely no information about this entry. There
is no way to contact the author and ask him if he would be willing to give
up that name, no website, not even a license or description. If you look into
the uploaded source code, you will see that it's just a hello world program.

That's not a problem for me, I just picked a different name for my package.
Even if I wanted to use that name, I could add a prefix or suffix to it, to make
it unique. But then I looked through the list of the entires and checked the
ones that had no description or their description was suspicious. Just with the
letter A I got:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/42/0
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Aaronyoungnester/1.4.0
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ABC/0.0.0
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/abhi/2.0.0
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/acme.sql/0.0.0
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/affix/1.0
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/agg2567/1.1.0
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/agg2567/1.1.0
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/airstream/0
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ajl_nester/1.1.0
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/akali/1.3.0
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/alexis/0.1
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/amoi/.lol.
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/aodag3/1.0.0
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/arch/0.0.1
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/arounded/0.0
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/AthleteClass/1.0.0
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/athletelist/1.1.0
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/athletelist_jw/1.0.0
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/athletelistlogan/1.3.0
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/atool/1.0.0
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/awesomeness/0.0.1
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/aws-cli/0.0
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ayame/0.0

All of those entries share some properties:

 * no author and no way to contact the author
 * no website, website offline or obviously not related (like google.com)
 * no description or meaningless description
 * no download url or uploaded code, or the code that is uploaded is just
   a hello world or similar exercise
 * no license

I think that all those properties, taken together, in practice mean that the
particular entry is completely useless both to the Python community and to its
author -- possibly being just an abandoned test. I also think that there should
be a defined process for requesting of removal of such entries -- so that an
actually useful project can take their place.

I understand that some of those entries are placeholders for projects that are
actively being worked upon, just not much is disclosed yet. In that case, they
could at least have an author contact information, a link to the repository or
an development status: in planning trove classifier. Those project would be
left alone.

An additional check that could be done on the PyPi side is whether the same
PuPi user has also some other entries that are perhaps more meaningful and
contain contact information. They could be then contacted and asked about the
status of their abandoned entries.

If such a process existed and was publicly announced in the PyPi documentation,
then there would be less work with this kind of maintenance, and no animosity
in case of a needed entry being removed -- people would know what to expect.

Thank you for all the good work on PyPi,

I concur. It's increasingly easy to find bogus entries on the index. We've had
this quite recently with Hynek trying to publish first and finding out there's
a package of that name. Fortunately we were able to work it out with Richard
but we had to contact him directly and waste his cycles on this.

Same thing happened with proxy but in this case Richard decided that while the
currect package is bogus, the name is bad anyway and he's not freeing it up ;)
Which is fair enough, but again - wasted cycles and no clear process.

 All of those entries share some properties:
 
 * no author and no way to contact the author
 * no website, website offline or obviously not related (like google.com)
 * no description or meaningless description
 * no download url or uploaded code, or the code that is uploaded is just
   a hello world or similar exercise
 * no license

The simplest approach would be to expire unused package names after, say,
6 months.

I think there should be a PEP regulating the removal and the taking over
process for packages.  Your considerations make sense to me there.  
ASFAIK Perl has such policies a decade or so.  Probably makes sense to
use their provisions as a blue print.  Such a PEP should contain a
list of projects that are to be removed retro-actively if they don't
comply within 6 months or so.  I think the barrier shouldn't be too high,
a valid email address and/or release activity are a good minimum.
And it should be a short PEP :)

cheers,
holger

I'd be OK with after six months automatically removing packages that
has only one owner/maintainer, and that owner/maintainer has no other
packages, and the package has no available downloads, and no contact
information on either package nor registered user.

For other cases there should also be a manual way or removing packages
on the discretion of PyPI maintainers, as well as giving owner access
to packages whose owner is unreachable (I think there may already
exist a process for that).

Re: [Distutils] problems with sdist upload since CDN update

2013-05-31 Thread Matt Wilkie
I'm also having trouble with uploading to pypi, it's not random,
meaning it's happened every time so far. My last upload was about a
week ago and seamless.

Here is my best reconstruction of today:

{{{
python setup.py sdist upload

...snip

running upload
submitting d:/leo/dist\leo-4.11.devel-build-5802.zip to

upload failed (500): There's been a problem with your request

python setup.py sdist upload
:: same error

python setup.py register
:: was okay

python setup.py sdist upload
:: same error
}}}

I then went to https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=pkg_editname=leo
and noticed that I had my role mysteriously expanded to include Owner
as well as Maintainer.

I used the web interface and removed the Owner role for myself, and
then manually uploaded the sdist package, which succeeded.

Went back to cmd shell and:

{{{

leo-4.11.devel-build-5802. To fix problems with that file you should
create a new release.
}}}

Note the double upload.

Going back to the website https://pypi.python.org/pypi/leo there are
now 2 packages listed: leo 4.10-final, which corresponds to the
sdist package, and leo 4.11.devel-build-5802 corresponding the win32
.exe installer.

The metadata for 4.10-final has the correct author and maintainer, but
all the other metadata is old and hasn't been updated.

The metadata for 4.11-devel is up to date for homepage through
maintainer but has the wrong Author and is missing the long
description.

The journal entries for the 2 packages mirror each other except for
the last line:

+1, I think this should just be treated as a form validation thing. It is a 
detail of the protocol that you upload a dist definition before the files, but 
I don't think we should consider it a valid PyPI entry until a file is uploaded 
(especially now that the default mode is to not scrape external sites). As we 
switch to not scraping, anything with no files should just vanish IMO, at which 
point it is available for registration again. If someone happens to 
ninja-upload between the setup.py register and setup.py upload, I think we can 
just throw an error message since chances of that happening are so amazingly 
low.

So I completely agree with the sentiment. However we need to make sure whatever 
process we come up with has provisions for when it's ok to manually remove a 
name as well.

The reasoning is that it can easily become an arms race of sort. If we say 
well projects without a file get auto deleted after a day, then someone 
wanting to squat a name will just upload a dummy file.

Firstly, let me say that the general idea sounds good, and should serve 
to improve PyPI security. However, it needs to be done carefully. 
Certainly Holger's idea of looking at how other programming language 
communities have done it is a good one.


A potential problem with the no new package in six months heuristic 
is that it would punish mature packages with little or no improvements 
left. Would one defeat this rule by simply uploading a new package 
every six months?


I am aware that packages have to change from time to time, if at least 
to keep up with language or other dependency changes, but the rules for 
weeding packages should be carefully thought out.

Six months does seem somewhat long, but I think a day is draconian. For
example, I registered the PyPI name for distil when I first thought of the
name (part way through developing it, but some weeks before the first
release). The first release makes first impressions, so it makes sense to
take care over it, and that takes time - sometimes, more than a few days.
While I don't think people should be able to claim and park project names
indefinitely, the choice of a project name is not totally trivial, and if a
developer picks a name they like for one of their projects and it's
available, I don't believe they should be forced to upload their first
release too soon. This doesn't seem like an issue which requires precipitate
measures. (I do agree with the general sentiments of tightening up on
project names, and having a process to harvest claimed but unused project
names after a decent interval.)

[Distutils] Binary Wheels and universal builds on OS-X

2013-05-31 Thread Chris Barker - NOAA Federal
HI Folks,

A few of us over on the pythonmac list have been hashing out how best
to support binary packages on OS-X. The binary wheel option seems very
promising.

However, there is one Mac-specific issue that does not seem to be addressed:

On OS-X, binaries can be universal -- what this means is that they
have more than one binary architecture embedded in a single file; the
system selects the right one at run time. Both executables and dynamic
libraries can be universal. In theory, an universal binary can
currently contain up to 4 architectures:

32+64 bit PPC and 32+64bit x86

In practice, 64 bit PPC was never broadly used, and 32bit PPC is
fading fast. Nevertheless, both 32 and 64 Intel systems are pretty
common, and who knows what there may be in the future (you never know
with Apple...)

The binary builds of Python served up on the python.org web site have
supported universal builds for years -- currently there are two
options: 32bit PPC+x86 or 32+64bit x86. It's not a single build, as it
turns out it's hard to support both up to date x86_64 and PPC with the
same compiler. In these builds, the configuration is set up so that
distutils will build universal extensions that match the architectures
included in the builds. This makes it pretty easy to build binary
packages, and/or full app distributions (py2app) that are universal as
well.

setuptools' easy_install supports binary eggs, but always choked on
universal builds -- it didn't know how to identify what matched the
system. It would be really nice if future tools could identify and
install the correct binary wheels for universal builds.

I've taken a look at PEP 427, and see this:

platform tag
E.g. 'linux_x86_64', 'any'.

That looks to me like there is a built-in assumption that a wheel is
either specific to a single architecture, or any -- so no way to
specify that it may have multiple architectures. So I propose that
platform tag allow a list of some sort:

['macosx-10_6_i386', 'macosx_10_6-x86_64']

or, I suppose to keep it simple, a single string:

'macosx_10_6_i386+macosx_10_6_x86_64'
or
'macosx_10_6_i386+x86_64'

If so, then a binary wheel could be built (and discovered) that
supported multiple architectures.

Then how would an installer ( pip? ) identify the right one? This is a
bit tricky. PEP 425 states:

The platform tag is simply distutils.util.get_platform() with all
hyphens - and periods . replaced with underscore

On my system right now, I have 32bitPPC + 32bit i386 universal python,
running on an intel system:

In [2]: distutils.util.get_platform()
Out[2]: 'macosx-10.3-i386'

So we may want to patch get_platform() to support universal builds -
or add anther function or something -- you may sometimes what to know
what you are running right now, and other times want to know how the
current python is built. (note that while distutils can build
universal binaries, it's not very smart about it -- all is does is
grab the compiler and linker flags from the Makefile, which include
multiple -arch flags.

Even if there is an easy way to query the system, that leaves the
question of what to do. If a user wants to intall a package into a
universal python, will the installer only accept a binary wheel with
all the supported architectures? or one with only the currently
running one?

Anyway, it would be nice to be able to get this stuff to just work
with universal binaries on the Mac.

Thoughts, ideas?

Wheel already supports compound tags. Just like py2.py3-none-any a tag
py3-none-x86.ppc (with real platform names) would work. Does that make

 packages, and/or full app distributions (py2app) that are universal as
 well.

 setuptools' easy_install supports binary eggs, but always choked on
 universal builds -- it didn't know how to identify what matched the
 system. It would be really nice if future tools could identify and
 install the correct binary wheels for universal builds.

 I've taken a look at PEP 427, and see this:

 platform tag
 E.g. 'linux_x86_64', 'any'.

 That looks to me like there is a built-in assumption that a wheel is
 either specific to a single architecture, or any -- so no way to
 specify that it may have multiple architectures. So I propose that
 platform tag allow a list of some sort:

 ['macosx-10_6_i386', 'macosx_10_6-x86_64']

 or, I suppose to keep it simple, a single string:

 'macosx_10_6_i386+macosx_10_6_x86_64'
 or
 'macosx_10_6_i386+x86_64'

 If so, then a binary wheel could be built (and discovered) that
 supported multiple architectures.

 Then how would an installer ( pip? ) identify the right one? This is a
 bit tricky. PEP 425 states:

 The platform tag is simply distutils.util.get_platform() with all
 hyphens - and periods . replaced with underscore

 On my system right now, I have 32bitPPC + 32bit i386 universal python,
 running on an intel system:

 In [2]: distutils.util.get_platform()
 Out[2]: 'macosx-10.3-i386'

 So we may want to patch get_platform() to support universal builds -
 or add anther function or something -- you may sometimes what to know
 what you are running right now, and other times want to know how the
 current python is built. (note that while distutils can build
 universal binaries, it's not very smart about it -- all is does is
 grab the compiler and linker flags from the Makefile, which include
 multiple -arch flags.

 Even if there is an easy way to query the system, that leaves the
 question of what to do. If a user wants to intall a package into a
 universal python, will the installer only accept a binary wheel with
 all the supported architectures? or one with only the currently
 running one?

 Anyway, it would be nice to be able to get this stuff to just work
 with universal binaries on the Mac.

 Thoughts, ideas?

 Thanks for the clarification, but my argument remains for subsequent
 releases.

Hopefully, subsequent releases aren't an issue.  IOW, I hope
no one is proposing removing a project simply because someone hasn't
released a new (after initial) release in some period of time.

 Firstly, let me say that the general idea sounds good, and should serve to
 improve PyPI security. However, it needs to be done carefully. Certainly
 Holger's idea of looking at how other programming language communities have
 done it is a good one.

 A potential problem with the no new package in six months heuristic is
 that it would punish mature packages with little or no improvements left.
 Would one defeat this rule by simply uploading a new package every six
 months?

I think Tres was referring to the first release.
