The current PyPi entry for the GpgMe bindings
(https://pypi.org/project/gpg/) is unmaintained. Unfortunately, some
projects, like Roundup for GPG support, still rely on this entry. The
outdated version of the bindings contains an invalid code sequence that
causes compatibility issues with newer Python versions (for more
details, see the issue: https://issues.roundup-tracker.org/issue2551368).
There are two potential courses of action:
1.
*Declare the entry as unmaintained*: Notify all users that this
package should no longer be used and recommend alternative, actively
maintained bindings.
2.
*Assign a maintainer to the PyPi entry*: Upload a new version and
fix the build issues to ensure proper functionality.
Currently, the existing Python bindings cannot correctly build a source
distribution due to missing files in the package. I had to use
workarounds to build the distribution. For reference, here are the steps
I followed to successfully build the package:
https://issues.roundup-tracker.org/msg8362.
For testing purposes, I uploaded a version of the bindings to the PyPi
testing index: https://test.pypi.org/project/gpg/.
At present, Bernhard Reiter has access to the GPG entry. I would like to
extend access to someone with write access to the |gpgmepy| repository
who is interested in maintaining and uploading new versions of the
bindings. Ideally, I hope this entry continues to be updated, as doing
so could help identify issues that might affect users who do not
directly use the bindings via PyPi.
