Hi! Thanks for the request. Because removing classifiers is very difficult, and the longer the classifier list gets the harder it is to browse, the bar to add new ones is relatively high. Currently, PyPI moderators primarily examine two guidelines for Framework
classifiers:
Framework
classifiers should be created if they are "notable;" and "Notability" is subjective, but I'm convinced SageMath qualifies.
As to the other guideline ('immediate use to existing projects'), the best way we've found to demonstrate that is to have 10 or more other project maintainers submit comments on the requesting issue about their desire to use the classifier. Is that something you could assist with?
Request to add a new Trove classifier.
The name of the classifier you would like to add
Framework :: SageMath
Why do you want to add this classifier?
SageMath is one of the most popular open source computer algebra software, used for teaching and research in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, and more. SageMath's interface language is Python; pip is integrated to its command line, has recently become the preferred way to distribute packages based on SageMath, and introductory workshops now teach the basics of Python packaging.
Currently, a search for "sagemath" on PyPI shows 38 results, but a search for "sage" (a legacy name for SageMath) shows 113 projects, many of which are related to SageMath.
