Victor Stinner has agreed to take over maintenance of the backport module
-- thanks Victor! His plan is straightforward -- to backport enhancements
from CPython 3.6 and release a new PyPI version.

And thanks Ethan for volunteering as well -- I appreciate it.

Indeed -- probably better than me at this point! I haven't quite been able
to keep up with the latest CPython patches. In any case, I think you'd be
an ideal person for maintaining the backport. I know there was some
question in the past about whether you had desire/time for more open source
contributions; in that light, are you willing and do you have the time?
Though again, this isn't a big module and really just a few fixes at this
point.

Thanks, Ethan. I don't think that would be too much of an issue -- there is
only a small amount of OS X-specific code in scandir.py.

I also see Victor Stinner's just replied. I think he would make the ideal
maintainer if he's willing, as he helped me write the PEP and code and has
been very close to scandir for a long time.

FYI I just finished (I hope!) to bug on os.walk(bytes) on Windows with
the "emulated" scandir (since os.scandir() only works on Unicode on
Python 3.5+):
http://bugs.python.org/issue25911

Since I helped you to write your PEP 471 (scandir) as the
BDFL-delegate, I think that I now understand well scandir(). So I can
help you to maintain your backport.

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

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
