If you mean on pypi, then the process is described here: https://peps.python.org/pep-0541/#how-to-request-a-name-transfer However, I should point out that someone forked it already and the fork seems to be actively maintained: https://pypi.org/project/pyliblo3/ So it may be worth contacting that person first and figuring out a common way forward. Having some packages depend on now-reclaimed "pyliblo" and "pyliblo3" fork would be the worst possible outcome. -- Best regards, Michał Górny _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/UQ6JG4AEON4QDC7C2U2V7577WREX4HL6/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
