[11:13:59] <cmac4603> Hello all! My name is Colin, a devops engineer with experience in python, and a bit of HTML, CSS & JS as well. Was hoping to contribute anyway I can, preferably code but also willing to do docs and anything else, really. First time contributing to an open source project, but big believer in it and the python ecosystem. Anyone able to give me pointers where to begin?

[11:19:36] <ronny> cmac4603: hi, thanks for droping by, it might be a bit troublesome to get many of the devs right now due to it being sunday, and really early in the us

[11:20:19] <ronny> cmac4603: do you have areas of interest perhaps, it usually works out better if we support you doing something you are curious about/interested in rather than the other way around

[11:25:27] <cmac4603> ronny: thanks for getting back to me, I will take at look at the issue tracker on github and get back to on here Monday with things I think I can help with. Thanks again!

[11:26:34] <ronny> cmac4603: also perhaps figure a personal itch you want to see solved, it can really help

[11:29:32] <cmac4603> ronny: will do, that sounds like a good idea

[11:44:27] <nlh> hi cmac4603 :) we're trying to do a big push on the warehouse project, which will replace the current pypi: https://github.com/pypa/warehouse

[11:45:03] <nlh> any contribution to this project would be most welcome and we are generally available to answer questions, etc

[11:45:23] <nlh> so if you see anything there that takes your fancy, please feel free to ping me :)

[11:49:06] <cmac4603> nlh: I will do, eager to help anyway I can. Will take a look and get back on here

[20:08:54] <sigmavirus24> dstufft: I'm looking at https://pypi.io/project/github3.py/ and noticing that github3.py is changed to github3-py but it doesn't quite work https://gist.github.com/sigmavirus24/285e1d6a41e5558d7c02bf07bba6fcdf

[20:10:46] <dstufft> sigmavirus24: huh

[20:10:50] <dstufft> looks like a pip bug

[20:12:15] <sigmavirus24> dstufft: okay. I'll go see if this has been reported already

[20:13:34] <dstufft> sigmavirus24: I suspect the answer is that we're assuming the name we found == the exact dist-info name

[20:13:37] <dstufft> which is.. well wrong

[20:14:13] <dstufft> (and is part of why I think future specs should not re-encode the project name inside of the directory structure of the format

[20:14:41] <dstufft> .dist-info would be easier to consume if it were named DIST-INFO instead of <project-name>.dist-info

[20:15:43] <ronny> btw, can dist info folders lookse the version numbers and gain a own folder side by side to site-packges or in site-packages?

[20:16:29] <dstufft> sigmavirus24: I'm going to have to think about this though, because the practical effects of this are going to mean that due to the way warehouse normalizes names slightly differently then PyPI does, certain projects like github3.py are going to be uninstallable on older versions of pip then

[20:16:35] <dstufft> or at least, uninstallable using wheel

[20:17:18] <dstufft> ronny: maybe? idk i'd have to think about it before I could come up with a conclusion on what I thought is right

[20:19:06] <ronny> dstufft: if there no longer is a version attached and they go somewhere like $SITE-packages/dist-info/<project-name>/ i think it would help

[20:19:43] <ronny> dstufft: and bonus poitns, since sdists could simply have a .DIST-INFO folder with a hidden attribute for windows

[20:32:04] <dstufft> sigmavirus24: https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/3794
