PEP 541 Request: balsam #1483

Closed masalim2 closed 2 years ago

masalim2 commented 2 years ago

Project to be claimed

balsam: https://pypi.org/project/balsam/

Your PyPI username

msalim: https://pypi.org/user/msalim/

Reasons for the request

The balsam project on PyPI has not had a release in over 2 years (since June 27 2019) and the corresponding Gitlab repository does not show activity since then, either. My colleagues and I have attempted to reach out to the author on 3 occasions and received no response.

Our hope is to use the balsam PyPI project to distribute the Balsam workflow manager that's actively developed and maintained by research scientists at Argonne National Laboratory. Our project is widely used by a community of HPC researchers at Argonne and on other supercomputers around the world, and our goal is to make the distribution process less confusing by having the package name balsam aligned with the PyPI project name. We've been developing Balsam since 2014 as a job management system. As a stopgap, we have been distributing our project as balsam-flow on PyPI but we are hoping to migrate this to the balsam name.

Maintenance or replacement?

Contact and additional research

We have not received a response after three attempts to reach the maintainer at the email address listed on the project page:

  1. January 10, 2020: sent an email to bart.frenk@gmail.com requesting if we could take over the balsam project name.
  2. June 1, 2020: sent another email requesting the same
  3. June 8, 2021: sent a third email inquiry.

With no activity on PyPI or the Gitlab repository in over two years, we believe this request meets the 3 criteria for replacement in PEP 541.

Code of Conduct

Hello @masalim2, I have started the reachability process for your request, hopefully we will hear back from the owner soon and proceed with the transfer.

bartfrenk commented 2 years ago

Hello @masalim2,

This is the owner of the package. The balsam package is still in use in some older projects at https://greenhousegroup.com/en, however, we are obviously not actively developing it anymore. I can publish it under a different name, to free up the balsam name, within a week or two.

bartfrenk commented 2 years ago

Hello @masalim2. Could you please acknowledge the previous message? It is some effort to move the names, so I'd like to have some confirmation that this is still important to you.

masalim2 commented 2 years ago

Hi @bartfrenk,

Thanks very much for looking into this! Yes, my team would still absolutely benefit from the name change and really appreciate the re-publication.

yeraydiazdiaz commented 2 years ago

Thanks for replying @bartfrenk, closing as contact has been made.

@masalim2 I have just deleted the balsam package. The name should be available now.

Thank you so much for your help!
