I guess this is good thing, but I can't help but think that there would have been better way to do this; the process seems pretty rapid haphazard first-come first-serve situation. Most importantly, PSF indicated interest for these in under 2 hours (which is pretty quick response) but there are already some repos that are being transferred to other people. Surely he could have waited at least one day for responses before actually starting to move things?


It's about as haphazard as anything else he does. See "To those that criticize the project..." on https://journal.kennethreitz.org/entry/r-python .


Oh I didnt knew he made pipenv AND requests - both are very fine projects trusted in production.

On Pipenv? Why are people so negative about it? If you don't like it - just use another tool. Its not like its M$ or systemD which both are a pain to get rid of if your organisation or distro decided to implement


Because whenever I use another tool, someone asks, "Why aren't you using pipenv? It's a very fine project."


> systemD

Honest question: Do people write systemd with incorrect capitalization out of spite, or because they just don't know better? It just irks me, like if someone was writing LaTeX as just Latex.


A lot of the complaints about Pipenv were that both its own docs and some of the material on the Python package index suggested that pipenv was a new “official” tool recommended by the Python core team, which isn’t the case.


Didn't it really suggest the recommendation was from the core team, and not PyPA?


Because PSF suggests it as go-to tool for env management


PyPA, not the PSF.


I have created a community for exactly this purpose:

I'm not saying he should have used it, but there are options, rather than just posting "hey, who wants these crucial Python packages?"


It seems odd, especially some of his use of words, I hope he is ok.
