[19:31:01] <paulromano> random question on history that I haven't been able to find an answer to on the web -- when did PyPI actually start hosting packages? If I am reading PEP 438 correctly, it sounds like by the time that PEP was written PyPI had been hosting packages already

[19:38:35] <nedbat> paulromano: seems like it's been at least ten years: https://pypi.org/project/coverage/3.0/#files

[19:41:16] <sumanah> Hi paulromano -- lemme look at https://lwn.net/Articles/751458/

[19:41:23] <paulromano> Thanks nedbat. And did PyPI ever host eggs or was that strictly an external-hosted thing?

[19:41:37] <paulromano> I know eggs are a thing of the past, but just trying to understand the history

[19:41:45] <nedbat> paulromano: i don't know that pypi cared what the file types were

[19:43:11] <sumanah> btw paulromano if you don't get an answer here, you could ask on https://discuss.python.org/c/packaging -- I am also curious whether this is just curiosity (which is fine) or there's any further research/work we can help you with here

[19:44:28] <paulromano> thanks a lot. for context, I teach a class at UChicago on python programming

[19:45:11] <paulromano> one of the lectures dives into packaging and distribution a bit, so I'm just trying to put together a cohesive "story" of how all the tools came about

[19:48:32] <energizer> paulromano: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0301/ mentions .pypirc

[19:49:29] <energizer> that looks like it might be the one

[21:21:35] <nixjdm> Does anyone know how to remove or deactivate an entry from a setuptools working_set? That functionality seems absent from pkg_resources.

[21:21:48] <nixjdm> I'm trying to write automated tests that install/test with/uninstall parameterized plugins. The uninstallation part is tripping me up

[21:22:04] <nixjdm> I haven't found anything in pkg_resources that does this. I'd much prefer something cleaner than something like this SO post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23206376/setuptools-pkg-resources-deactivate-distribution

[21:31:51] <waynew> Looks like there's a dearth of answers on that Q

[21:33:22] <nixjdm> Yeah, I figured that one was a bit out there.

[21:33:52] <nixjdm> I suspect the lack of that function corresponds to lack of demand for it.

[22:55:49] <The_Ball> I'm looking into the package Yapps2-2.2.0, and I've found a incorrect reference to the source. It's pointing to the wrong git repo. Where can I correct this?

[22:56:18] <ThiefMaster> pretty sure you need to make a new release with the correct metadata

[22:56:45] <The_Ball> It's listed as "Home-page: https://github.com/mk-fg/yapps" but the real source that is actually installed is here "https://github.com/smurfix/yapps"

[22:59:30] <ThiefMaster> https://github.com/smurfix/yapps/blob/master/setup.py#L21

[22:59:40] <ThiefMaster> both repos list mk-fg in setup.py
