Hi! Thanks for the request. The PyPI moderators are in the process of developing a few guidelines for the creation of new Framework classifiers. Because removing classifiers is very difficult, and the longer the classifier list gets the harder it is to browse, I think we're expecting the bar to add new ones to be relatively high. Currently, we're looking at these guidelines:
We understand that "notability" is subjective and we'd appreciate help judging that.
As to the other guideline ('immediate use to existing projects'), it's been suggested that
Thanks!
Hi @di,
thanks for the reply and I totally understand. I can speak for Constellation, we would definitely use that classifier. I will ask around to see if other projects would join this effort.
Adds a classifiers for software packages that provide or work with DAQ systems (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_acquisition).
Request to add a new Trove classifier.
The name of the classifier(s) you would like to add:
Topic :: Scientific/Engineering :: Data Acquisition (DAQ)
Why do you want to add this classifier?
Data acquisition (DAQ) systems are common place to read data from sensors or other data sources. While typically a lot of DAQ software is written in low-level programming languages, writing DAQ software in Python is getting more common. A simple search for keywords like "data acquisition", "sensor", "readout" and "daq" and reveal many packages that could use such a classifier.
The current classifiers are not sufficient: searching for "data" only reveals three database and a framework entry, "hardware" doesn't include any readout classifiers and in scientific/engineering are many DAQ-related classifiers (like "physics", "information analysis"), but none that actually provide a clear indication for hardware/DAQ-related packages.
