PEP 541 Request: esprima

[s0md3v]

Project to be claimed

PROJECT_NAME: https://pypi.org/project/esprima

Your PyPI username

USER_NAME: https://pypi.org/user/s0md3v

Reasons for the request

The esprima pypi package was last updated 7 years ago. Being a javascript parser, it fails to do its job for modern javascript code as it doesn't support javascript syntax/features added in 2018 and beyond.

I have created a fork that adds support for modern javascript.

Moreover, this package is a python port of an npm module esprima which itself hasn't been updated since 4 years. It is safe to say that this project is abandoned.

Maintenance or replacement?
