PEP 541 Request: hammer

[LucaCappelletti94]

Project to be claimed

https://pypi.org/project/hammer/

Your PyPI username

https://pypi.org/user/LucaCappelletti94/

Reasons for the request

My team and I are developing a Python package for predicting characteristics of molecules, and we thought the name 'hammer' worked both as the model is hammer-shaped and we identified a working acronym for that name.

There is a package currently called Hammer on PyPi which is, I believe, abandoned as it has had no release since 2012 and the links are dead.

Maintenance or replacement?

Contact and additional research

I emailed the owner on October 9, 2024, and received a positive reply, which I quote verbatim: "Sounds like an interesting project. I am happy to transfer. What is your PyPi username?"

I replied immediately and sent another email to ensure my reply did not end up in the spam, but I have yet to hear from the current package owner.

I assume that the current package owner may have more pressing matters than transferring this old Python package, so having received what I believe to be the original owner's blessing for the package transfer, I decided to ask here for help.

Hi @LucaCappelletti94,

We are working to contact the owner to determine if they're reachable and have sent them a courtesy message.

Final determination regarding project ownership will be made by the PyPI Administrators when the research process is complete.

Perfect, I appreciate it.
