PEP 541 Request: aws-iot #587

Closed janluak closed 3 years ago

janluak commented 4 years ago

Project to be claimed

PROJECT_NAME: https://pypi.org/project/aws-iot/

Your PyPI username

USER_NAME: https://pypi.org/user/janluak

Reasons for the request

The project seems only to be a one-time commit with blocking the name. It is only very limited code available. Additionally, a further versioned (v0.1.3) project from the same author is https://pypi.org/project/awsiot/ (missing - in name).

Maintenance or replacement?

I intend to replace the v0.0.1 package with a much more sophisticated package for high-level interaction with aws iot (e.g. crossing out boto3 raw commands), currently under refactoring from a private business related repo. When scanning through the available names I came across this unmaintained package with very general name fitting quite well. If code is necessary I believe to have refactoring finished by end of week.

Sure, the possibility to publish under a different name is given. Yet, a general name like aws-iot laying around unmaintained and instead forcing every body else to use other, longer and not describing as good don't seem to make a lot of sense to me...

Contact and additional research

I tried to contact the previous owner via email but did not receive a response. With missing links to a repository and both accounts for a cruizer on gitlab and GitHub not having any public repos, I have no further idea of contacting the author.

Hello @Janluak, apologies for the delay. I'm moving your request to reachability and attempt contact with the author, hopefully we will hear back soon.

GitHub user @cruzer seems to be owner of the project and the awsiot GitHub repo which matches the code in PyPI.

@cruzer, would you mind clarifying your position in regards to your package? I suggest reading PEP 541 to have a better idea of the process and its motivation.

@yeraydiazdiaz @cruzer is there any update so far? I further developed the potentially replacing library and would like to clarify if going public by this vital name will be possible.

Apologies for the delay @Janluak, the transfer is now complete.
