[Biopython-dev] Fwd: Important notice about your projects on PyPI

[Brad Chapman]

Peter;
I got this message as well and ran the pep470 tool to upload these releases to
pypi. It didn't work for the corba packages since they don't match the
Biopython project name, but I don't think that matters. So we hopefully should
be good to go with this.


I know nothing about wheels and have been using the conda tools successfully,
but would love to hear if anything has good experiences getting them going,
Brad

> Due to the acceptance of PEP 470, PyPI is going to remove the ability for a
> project to host it's files somewhere other than on PyPI, but still have PyPI
> instruct installers (such as pip) to go and fetch this file automatically.
> PEP 470 removes this feature and any project relying on it will need to
> either
> be moved to hosting on PyPI or, if you wish to continue to host it
> externally,
> you'll need to host your own repository and instruct your users to add that
> repository to their installer. To give you time to adjust, this change will
> not
> happen for 3 months, but after that 3 month deadline has expired, unless you
> act some or all of the files for the above projects will no longer be found

> If you wish, there is a script available at
> https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pep470
> which can be used to automatically migrate any of the affected files for
> your
> own projects to PyPI.
>
> If you wish to continue to host your files yourself instead of uploading
> them
> to PyPI, then you should follow the instructions at
> https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/self_hosted_repository/.

> If you have any questions about the migration, please first check the FAQ at
> https://github.com/pypa/pep470/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions which will be
