PyPI now serves project status markers in API responses
PyPI now serves project status markers in its standard index APIs. This allows downstream consumers (like Python package installers and index mirrors) to retrieve project statuses programmatically and use them to inform users when a project is archived or quarantined.
Summary
- PyPI has implemented project status markers as proposed and accepted in PEP 792.
- As of today, PyPI supports three standard statuses: active (the default), archived, and quarantined.
- Downstream consumers can now retrieve these statuses via the standard index APIs and use them to inform users about the state of a project.
See the project archival and project quarantine announcement posts for additional information on PyPI's implementation of those individual statuses.
