It's certainly a good place to start.


So I'm looking for someone who wants to take over the maintenance of the
scandir PyPI module. It wouldn't be much work, as there are only a
couple of fairly small issues to fix. Or it might be a good way to start
for someone who wants to contribute to a small but useful open source
module in the Python ecosystem.


I'd be happy to, although I only have access to linux and MS Windows. 
This would be good prompting for me to get a few other *nices going, 
though (although I don't see MacOSX happening).

[Python-Dev] Scandir module seeking new maintainer

[Ben Hoyt]

Hi folks,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but seeing I was fairly
active here when developing scandir and getting it into Python 3.5, so I
thought I'd start here.

I'm the author and current maintainer of the scandir
 module (Python 3.5's os.scandir but
for Python 2.x and 3.x before 3.5). But I've taken on a few new
non-programming projects and found I don't have time for the little
improvements and fixes that are now in CPython's os.scandir and should be
backported into the PyPI module.

So I'm looking for someone who wants to take over the maintenance of the
scandir PyPI module. It wouldn't be much work, as there are only a couple
of fairly small issues to fix. Or it might be a good way to start for
someone who wants to contribute to a small but useful open source module in
the Python ecosystem.

Any takers, or suggestions for where I could look further for a maintainer?

Thanks,
Ben

Thoughts?


I think it's a great idea, and have no objections.  `pip` is now
included by default, yes?


The stdlib includes the ensurepip package. Our Windows and, I believe, 
OSX installers run ensurepip.__init__._main.



 In those cases where it isn't, IDLE could let
the user know they need to install it.


"Ensure pip / Upgrade pip" is the first feature on Raymond's list.
