The new PyPI is still working towards our big public beta[1]. We have 7
open issues till we'll declare beta and make an outreach push (probably
late this week or early next week), and then 19 more open issues till we
can redirect/launch PyPI[2] probably in April (overview[3]). I've
started preparing a draft overview of what's new in
PyPI/packaging/distribution[4] to publicize along with the beta; it says
"not to be publicized" but I'll let you in on the secret early. Maybe
something in it is new to you as well!
As usual, we had a Warehouse core developers' meeting on Monday[5]. The
last week has seen a lot of polish and bugfixing and documentation for
Warehouse. For instance, project deletion is cleaner[6], we more
consistently indicate dangerous actions on a page[7], and there's now a
migration guide for third-party services[8] which we told several
projects about[9]. We've done some infrastructural work, like Datadog
instrumentation[10], "Conveyor" (a shim for URL redirects)[11], and
Cabotage improvements[12]. Here's an animated GIF demo of release phase
commands (scale up, scale down).[13] And we improved other codebases as
well, to fix Travis docs[14], get our HTTPS proxy service to deal with
big embedded images[15], and deal better with parsing invalid URLs in
READMEs[16].
Thanks to volunteers who got pull requests merged this week:
* waseem[17]: we now send an email to primary email whenever primary
email is changed
* mds325[18]: clear input when the user closes the modal * dirn[19]: create a
shortlink and redirect all requests for
/p/<project>/ to /project/<project>/ * cryvate[20]: clarify project counter
for searches with tons of
results * Mariatta[21]: fix an email-sending issue
And thanks to our many bug reporters, such as Andrew Nesbitt who noticed
an RSS feed discrepancy[22].
Check out the current discussion[23] of API keys, a bearer token
authentication scheme, and Macaroons in future PyPI.
Want to help?
* Talk with Nicole about being a subject or interviewer for user
tests![24] She's been focusing on user tests and it's paid off, with
a lot of bugs found and designs validated. * Got a good workaround for our
CAPTCHA being blocked in China[25]?
* Consider joining us at sprints[26] in the next few months.
* We have 24 good first issues open[27], and a "getting started"[28]
guide, and quick turnaround on code review.
*Thanks to Mozilla Open Source Support[29] for their funding[30] for the
PyPI & Warehouse work.*

P.S. Usually I compose these weekly report emails in plain text; here
I'm doing it in HTML with a plaintext fallback. Let me know if it's
better, awful, etc. Also nearly no one *replies* to these emails so
I'd also welcome your "hey this is useful to me!" offlist reply.
