hCaptcha broke pypi-cleanup automation #15736

Closed arcivanov closed 6 months ago

arcivanov commented 6 months ago

What's the problem this feature will solve? I'm the maintainer of the https://github.com/arcivanov/pypi-cleanup project that is used to clean out project releases automatically from CLI using regex patterns. A user just reported the added CAPTCHA breaking the functionality: https://github.com/arcivanov/pypi-cleanup/issues/27

Describe the solution you'd like The lack of API providing for project maintenance capability (e.g. delete/yank releases) for the PyPI is a real bummer. By introducing hCaptcha you've basically killed the last hope for automating these maintenance procedures (hundreds of .dev releases can be generated by the CI for a project).

Please either provide an option for automation tools to function without hCaptcha or provide the maintenance API that allows such functionality to exist natively.

I encourage all folks with a 👍 on this to also check out #13409 and make sure that your use cases are reflected on that issue.
