`compose` package name in PyPI #91

@jeff-hernandez I noticed that at some point, you uploaded this package to https://test.pypi.org under the name compose, then switched to composeml for both https://test.pypi.org and https://pypi.org.

This morning I tried to upload to https://pypi.org a package named compose, but it caused permission errors, as if it is a project owned by someone, except https://pypi.org/project/compose does not seem to exist.

Did you experience that issue too?

Or did you at some point upload something under the name compose to https://pypi.org and then delete the release (which can cause a project to not exist but still be taken)?

I am asking because I've started a PEP-541 request to take the compose project name since it seemed unused.

To be clear, I am not trying to take the composeml name that you are actually using - I think that name fits your project very nicely, by reinforcing the connection to machine learning, and I do not want to take that from you.

This is only about the unused compose name which you seem to have initially used (at least on https://test.pypi.org).

So I wanted to contact you and let you know, because:

  1. If you wanted the compose name originally but didn't get it because you were blocked by the same issue as I was, and only settled for composeml, then I think you should have a chance to take it now instead of me.

  2. On the other hand, if you prefer the composeml name you already have and don't mind me taking compose, having that agreement would help.

Hi @mentalisttraceur ,

Thank you for reaching out to us on this matter. Yes, we were blocked by the same issue as well which prevented us from using compose on PyPI. I tried looking on PyPI for contact information to the author but couldn't find anything. The intended name for this project is Compose. If possible, we would still like the chance to rename the package name on PyPI to compose.
