Distribution via PyPi about pysocksipychain HOT 7 OPEN

Hey, sorry we missed that PR. I unfortunately put myself in the situation of getting way to many Github notifications and just didn't see that. I would like to do my part to sort this out, will look into the PR today to understand what is up.

And ofc. there is sockschain

@seanmcfeely, @GreenPonik: It would be great, if you could get together on this issue.

Yea, @pagekite is non-responsive .

Hm, I wonder why Mickael Lehoux from @GreenPonik uploaded the project three different times to PyPi.

What do you propose @weddige?

What do you propose @weddige?

As all packages are currently being used (See screenshot with download statistics for the last 6 months), it's not really an option to just deleting the packages. IMHO there should be one canonical package and all (or as many as possible) of the other packages should get a README that points to that package. And the packages should be transferred to a single owner (or group of owners if you prefer).

Note that socksipy and sockipychain are different things; I added the chaining ability (which is starting to feel a bit dated and not particularly elegant) which the original code did not have at all.

I agree that cleaning up and merging would be nice, but I'm not really sure where to begin or even whether I'm the right person for the job.

I included socksipy because it has not been maintained since 2006 and socksipychain, whilst dated itself, is the better maintained alternative.

Maybe you could form a team of maintainers and share load? I'm not sure how much need there is for further development, but it certainly would help users find the relevant repository/package and get in touch with somebody.

I haven't used it, but having a look at https://github.com/simonw/pypi-rename might be worth it.
