pypidb

[jayvdb]

I have recently built https://github.com/jayvdb/pypidb which solves one part of this puzzle, finding an SCM repo very reliably for PyPI package names.

Any interest and/or MVP requirements for implementing it here?

I expect the algorithm to be reasonably applicable for NPM and others also, and I plan to extract it out at some point, but I would prefer to focus on Python first.

Of all the package names in https://github.com/pyupio/changelogs/tree/master/changelogs/custom/pypi (and map.txt), only the following four are not resolving correctly:

• newrelic (issue Other top 1000 expected failures jayvdb/pypidb#20)
• django-hijack (issue Package django-hijack jayvdb/pypidb#34)
• py-trello (known problem https://github.com/jayvdb/pypidb/blob/0baa777/pypidb/_rules.py#L615)
• pyinvoke (resolves to 404 https://github.com/NiklasRosenstein/pyinvoke)

Also there are two invalid package names in there

• python-social-core -> social-auth-core
• cornice.ext.swagger -> cornice-swagger

It would fix many issues, for example #156 is very old issue, and pypidb of course finds the correct repo.

@jayfk , is this project abandoned/no-longer-used by pyup?
