Reasons for the request
Hi,
I tried publishing a package with the name settings on pypi, and it was refused with the following error message:
Publishing 2 files to https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/
Uploading settings-0.0.1-py3-none-any.whl (2.2KiB)
error: Failed to publish `dist/settings-0.0.1-py3-none-any.whl` to https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/
Caused by: Upload failed with status code 403 Forbidden. Server says: 403 The user 'ypsah' isn't allowed to upload to project 'settings'. See https://pypi.org/help/#project-name for more information.
I don't see any actual project on pypi.org so I'm wondering if maybe like requirements.txt, this is a forbidden project name. On the other hand, I checked the pypi/warehouse project sources and didn't find anything to support this idea. Also, https://pypi.org/simple/settings returns:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta name="pypi:repository-version" content="1.4">
<meta name="pypi:project-status" content="active"> <title>Links for settings</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Links for settings</h1>
</body>
</html>
<!--SERIAL 307869-->Not a 404 error like any other non-existent or forbidden project.
If the name isn't forbidden, could you please let me know the process to follow to claim it for myself? The normal process would involve me contacting the current owner(s) of the package, but since the project doesn't even show up on pypi, I don't know who they are.
Maintenance or replacement?
None
