Question on new 3.7 feature

[jleclanche]

Sorry to file an issue here but I can't find a better point of contact.

https://docs.python.org/3.7/whatsnew/3.7.html#pep-562-customization-of-access-to-module-attributes

Does this solve the long-standing issue mentioned in the initial presentation about q, regarding __call__ on modules?

[zestyping]

Oh, interesting.

This seems unmaintained, I just tried to open an issue just to find out that I had opened it a year ago with no response. @jleclanche I have half a mind to just fork it and release my own, maintained version of it.

Or maybe the author could move it into Jazzband?

[mithro]

This project is mostly unmaintained. I had hoped to have the time to be able to do the maintenance from @zestyping but was never able to beyond some very minor things.

If someone had the time to take up the work, I would be more than happy to hand over the reigns. As the original author, @zestyping, would you be okay with that too?

[mithro]

BTW What is Jazzband?

[jleclanche]

Jazzband is a Django-oriented maintainership community. I don't think they'd take a non-Django project.

Would be lovely to have @skorokithakis help maintain this :)

[zestyping]

Hi, everyone. Thank you so much for using and caring about the future of q!

I'm sorry I've been so slow to respond to these requests. I can commit to giving them a serious look this coming week. I hope to do better in the future as well, though I understand if you (reasonably) don't have much confidence in that yet, given this project's track record. Nonetheless, I'll try.

[skorokithakis]

@zestyping could I convince you to add the project to the code shelter?

[merwok]

Module-level __dir__ and __getattr__ are nice to create attributes on the fly or lie about stuff, but I think they don’t help with magic methods (double-underscore) as these are looked up on types, not instances.

[jleclanche]

@zestyping Going to second @skorokithakis' suggestion of adding the project to the Code Shelter :) I really like its approach and I think q is an exceptionally useful Python package. Would you consider it?

[jleclanche]

@zestyping Paging again on the code shelter, this is such a ridiculously useful library it'd be good to have other people be able to contribute to it :)

[zestyping]

@jleclanche Thanks for the reminder. Obviously my ability to estimate when I'll get around to doing maintenance on this project is severely inaccurate! I'll have a look at the Code Shelter today.

[skorokithakis]

Thank you, @zestyping!

[zestyping]

I've added it!

[jleclanche]

Sweet! Thank you!

jazzband member here! that's not true. (we maintain pip-tools) We accept python packages only! so @zestyping you can submit to the community following the rules.
