There are numerous issues open, and at least one pull-request (mine). there has been no activity by the owner for at least a year.
Right now the official pypi version (2.2.1) is broken for Python 3.4. My PR (https://github.com/flintwork/pep8-naming/pull/11) is working well for me in my own fork, but I'm working up a library of my own and don't want to use my fork as an installation requirement when I finally publish to pypi. How do we re-invigorate the project? And, out of curiosity, if the owner of a published package has 'gone away' (i.e. abandoned the project), how does someone else take it over? Forking is easy enough, but you would eventually need to publish the new version on pypi. Is that protected (so that people can't hijack a trusted package like paramiko or pycrypto, for example)? It could be always be published with a different package name, but then existing users don't get the bug-fix automatically.
