Long description of yarg

[Nilsonfsilva]

Hey !

Congratulations on your project!
I'm a Debian packager, I'm taking your project to our distribution as it's a dependency on another package.

Since I haven't analyzed yarg in depth yet, I was wondering if you could describe in detail what yarg does very clearly.

As such, it is an essential requirement for packages in the Debian project.

Whereas, whoever decides to use the tool must know exactly what it does.

Thanks!

Sorry for the slow reply. Really, something depends on this? All it is is an interface to PyPI, and hasn't been touched in a very long time...

Hi Kura! your project is dependent on another package that is also going to Debian, and due to the distro's packaging policies, I need to put yarg first. I don't think I should leave it. Mainly now that it will be part of one of the most used distros in the GNU/Linuix world. Nilson F. Silva

I have no issue with it being packaged, I'm just curious what package depends on this library.

All I can really say is that I wrote so I would have a way of querying the Python Package Index (PyPI) programmatically. It is literally just a wrapper around the PyPI API, allowing you to lookup packages programmatically. It also exposes a way to quickly lookup the newest packages on PyPI and the newest package releases.

Can you verify that this is what yarg does?

Description: semi hard cornish cheese, also queries PyPI
Yarg is a simple and efficient PyPI client capable of reading and delivering
formatted documents as requested.
.
There are several ways to use Yarg:

• API Package RSS Feeds - The module is capable of parsing the PyPI server's
  RSS feeds and returning information about available packages, such as: last
  update date, description, name, URL and version.

• Package Lookup API - allows you to access and query information about
  packages hosted on PyPI.

• Yarg uses Python's built-in testing framework and uses "nose" as a tester.
  The project's Makefile has a target capable of installing all the necessary
  requirements to run the tests. The module also uses tox/detox, allowing the
  tester to run on all supported versions of Python.

  Do you intend to make a release?

  Thanks

Seems fine to me.

Do you intend to make a release?

Honestly, no. I have not touched this library in 8 years. I had no idea anyone actually used it.
