To my knowledge, metadata 2.0 does not have any reliable means to specify a repository URL. So how do you propose to retrieve this information? 15.04.2016, 13:05, Thomas Güttler kirjoitti: Am 14.04.2016 um 14:31 schrieb Ian Cordasco: On Apr 14, 2016 2:20 AM, "Thomas Güttler" mailto:guettl.

If you get that error, it means you're not actually using python 3 to run setup.py. 15.04.2016, 09:52, Luí­s de Sousa via Distutils-SIG kirjoitti: Hi Marius, thank you for the reply. If I remove the line # coding=utf8, I get the following error: $ python setup.py bdist_wheel --universal Fil

[Distutils] The mypy package

Brett suggested I ask the kind folks here. As you may or may not know, there's an old unmaintained "mypy" package on PyPI that attracts a fair amount of downloads from people trying to download mypy the type checker. We then get bug reports and have to explain in our tracker that they have to use

I've fallen into this trap as well, so +1 for the takeover. It might be a good idea to come up with a standardized process for taking over old, unmaintained packages. 16.04.2016, 02:29, Guido van Rossum kirjoitti: Brett suggested I ask the kind folks here. As you may or may not know, there's

Another thing. Is the search index on pypi.python.org no longer being updated? Searching for mypy-lang still takes you to mypy-lang 0.2.0, even though 0.3.1 has been released many weeks ago. I just updated the typing package and searching for that still shows the old versions. On Fri, Apr 15, 2016
