Is this project dead? about pystache HOT 20 OPEN

Some are now using chevron:

Chevron runs in less than half the time of pystache (Which is not even up to date on the spec). And in about 70% the time of Stache (A 'trimmed' version of mustache, also not spec compliant).

https://github.com/noahmorrison/chevron

from pystache.

I have made an official request to take over here - pypi/support#1422

Tagging @defunkt in case they can pipe up to say it's ok to transfer the name.

Maybe am interim maintainer could be a solution http://bluesock.org/~willkg/blog/dev/html5lib_1_0.html

I think chevron is probably the best option but if you need a working python3 version of this library for any reason I have forked it to fix incompatibility with latest setuptools and (relatedly) dropped python2 support here – https://github.com/PennyDreadfulMTG/pystache

from pystache.

There's another fork that seems well-maintained at https://github.com/sarnold/pystache

Seriously though, one of the updated forks should be on PyPI … has anyone considered taking this over?

There's a process for this now: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0541/

from pystache.

What do authors of the two forks @bakert and @sarnold think about applying for transfer of the name on PyPI?

from pystache.

@sarnold's fork looks better maintained than mine. I will probably retire mine in favor of using that. Changing it over makes sense to me if @sarnold agrees.

from pystache.

I guess that depends on the level of interest? I was actually thinking about moving some things soon (out of personal to FOSS org) but I'm living off of negative time right now. The pypi thing is on my todo list, I don't have anything there yet; I'd be up for co-maintenance (if that's even a thing) if @bakert is interested. That's about the best I can do for now...

from pystache.

We have extensions to pystache that make it faster (which should perhaps have been a PR against the library) and we've also hacked it to do our i18n so we're pretty deeply invested in there being a working library out there – https://github.com/PennyDreadfulMTG/Penny-Dreadful-Tools/blob/master/shared_web/template.py. Moving off pystache would be pretty painful. All that said our project is volunteer-only with only two devs giving significant time to it. But co-maintenance could definitely be a thing.

from pystache.

Sounds like maybe I should just open a giant PR? The main reason for my maintenance fork in the first place was/is reviving gitchangelog, and other than that, I don't think I have any other packages that depend on pystache (i should really go check that...).

from pystache.

Giant PR is acceptable!

from pystache.

I did say it would be big... Also I got distracted with other stuff <cough>work</cough> but I'm almost ready for some squashing after this: sarnold#8

Hopefully you enjoy automation; I should also mention the coverage workflow needs a(n orphan) branch named badges to maintain/display coverage data/badge. You even get to modify the PR comment msgs in the workflow (bonus!). <= uses only github actions (no external integrations/services)

from pystache.

I love automation :) Awesome to see this moving.

Is the goal that https://github.com/sarnold/pystache be the canonical/pypi repo at the end of this? Or are you going to send a giant PR against our fork? Or something else?

from pystache.

@bakert is this the right place? PennyDreadfulMTG#1

or did you want that in your personal github?

from pystache.

from pystache.

Sorry it took me a few days to check this out. Your big PR is now merged. Is there more to come or are we in a good place now? Should we publish a new version with a new version number?

from pystache.

Thanks for your efforts! I think what would be best us if you could kick off the process to take over the project on PyPI so that a pip install will find your updated fork. This requires the original project to be dead and the maintainers to be unresponsive, which both seems to be the case.

from pystache.

For anyone else coming here, this project is now officially no longer the source for PyPI, and you can find the newest releases here:

https://pypi.org/project/pystache/

from pystache.

Thanks for moving this forward. What do you think, shall I close the issue or keep it open so that others will find it?

from pystache.

I think you can close it. It's only a problem for legacy installations. New users should automatically get the right version via PyPI.
