I am part of a software engineering development team at CSIRO, Australia's national science agency. We are currently developing an innovative project named CSIRO PyGen, which is a comprehensive Python generative AI tool designed to enhance productivity and streamline development processes for Python developers.
Our project integrates state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 and Claude 3.5 Sonnet to provide advanced features, including intelligent code and test generation, refactoring, linting, and static analysis, all within a user-friendly CLI. We believe this tool will significantly benefit the Python community by offering a robust development experience powered by the latest advancements in AI.
We have identified that the package name "pygen" is currently registered on PyPI under the account of Julien Kauffmann. After investigating further, we found that the package has not been updated or maintained since 2016, the linked GitHub repository returns a 404 error, and the linked freelan.org address times out.
On 8th June 2024, I reached out to Julien Kauffmann via email to kindly request the release of the package name "pygen" so that we could use it for our project. Unfortunately, I have not received any response to date. Additionally, I have checked the PyPI Support issues and found no other requests for the "pygen" name.
Given the lack of activity and maintenance for this package, the absence of a response from the current owner, and in accordance with the criteria for package name transfers, I am writing to formally request the transfer of the package name "pygen" to our project. We are committed to maintaining and actively developing this package to ensure its value to the Python community.
I would be more than happy to provide any additional information about our project or our efforts to contact the current owner if needed.
Thank you very much for considering our request. We look forward to your response.

Hi Julien Kauffmann,
I hope this email finds you well. My name is Dr Chris Jackett, and I am part of a software engineering development team at CSIRO - Australia's national science agency. We are currently working on an innovative project named CSIRO PyGen, which is a comprehensive Python generative AI tool designed to enhance productivity and streamline development processes for Python developers.
Our project integrates state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 and Claude 3 Opus to provide advanced features, including intelligent code and test generation, refactoring, linting, and static analysis, all within a user-friendly CLI. We believe this tool will significantly benefit the Python community by offering a robust development experience powered by the latest advancements in AI.
We have noticed that the package name "pygen" is currently registered on PyPI under your account and the package has not been updated or maintained for some time. We just wanted to kindly enquire if you would be open to releasing the package name "pygen" so that we can use it for our project?
We think this name aligns perfectly with the goals and vision of our project, and it would significantly help us in reaching our target audience effectively. We would be more than happy to discuss this request further or provide any additional information about our project if needed.
Thank you very much for considering our request. We look forward to your response.
