Rename package on PyPI
Opened this issue · 4 comments
This package currently holds the name snowflake
on PyPI. Given the name conflict with the other Snowflake data warehousing project there may be some community good to relinquishing the name.
As @shaddi has mentioned offline this may be possible,but should be accompanied by a change in the upstream magma project as well as a deprecation cycle.
Process-wise my recommendation here would be the following:
- Modify this repository so that the module has a new name, republish on PyPI
- Release new versions of popular downstream packages (magma) pointing to the new package
- Publish again to the snowflake PyPI package a version of the current state, but with a mild warning pointing people to the other package.
- Publish again to the snowflake PyPI package a version of the current state, but now with an ImportError
- Yield rights of the PyPI package to the other snowflake package
There may be other steps here. I suspect that the above may be a good balance of easy and effective.
Thanks for calling this out. Like we discussed offline, I'll get this renamed and add a deprecation warning to the version currently on PyPI. We'll track usage statistics to determine when to release the name.
The main user of this library is Magma, as you noted. We'll track progress on removing the dep here: magma/magma#6159.
Checking in. Is there anything that I can do here to help?
