Project to be claimed

gdw: https://pypi.org/project/gdw

Your PyPI username

dougthor42: https://pypi.org/user/dougthor42

Reasons for the request

I'm unable to tell if this project exists. A search of pypi returns no results so I'm unable to determine who the current owner is (PEP 541 step 1 "Try to contact the current owner(s) directly").

Maintenance or replacement?

None

Source code repositories URLs

New project: https://github.com/dougthor42/gdw

Current project: unknown.

Contact and additional research

Preamble

"gdw" stands for "Gross Die per Wafer" (gross as opposed to net die per wafer) and is a common initialism used in the semiconductor processing industry.

I'm not married to the name gdw - if it's decided that the name is invalid for a legitimate reason, I can easily come up with something new. I just want to make sure I try grabbing it before spending the time and effort to rename it 😆.

Contact attempts and additional research.

I'm unable to determine who the current owner of https://pypi.org/project/gdw is.

The project name conflicts with a Python Standard Library module from any major version from 2.5 to present.

It doesn't seem like gdw has any near-matches with the stdlib. The most likely near-matches are pdb, bdb, or dbm, but in my opinion none of those are close enough to be easily confused

The project name is too similar to an existing project and may be confusable.

It's possible that gdw is confusable with other names (https://pypi.org/search/?q=dw&o=) like dw or dgw or dwg. I

It seems like this is the most likely case. Can someone confirm this?

The project name has been explicitly prohibited by the PyPI administrators.

I think this is unlikely.

The project name has been registered by another user, but no releases have been created.See How do I claim an abandoned or previously registered project name?

I'm not sure how to determine if this is the case, given that a direct link to the name returns a 404.

Code of Conduct

Hi @dougthor42,

We are working to contact the owner to determine if they're reachable and have sent them a courtesy message.

Final determination regarding project ownership will be made by the PyPI Administrators when the research process is complete.
