Message357490
When creating a package for PyPi, and naming an author, but not an author_email, you get a warning as follows:
warning: Check: missing meta-data: if 'author' supplied, 'author_email' must be supplied too
The specs ( https://packaging.python.org/specifications/core-metadata/#author ) do not enforce this behavior, so I'd like to change the wording from `must` to `should`.
This can be reproduced by creating a setup.py, providing `author`, but not `author_email`, and then calling `python setup.py check` or `python -m pep517.build .`.
This issue was discussed at:
https://discuss.python.org/t/which-fields-are-required-for-a-setup-py-especially-is-author-required/2705
and
https://github.com/pypa/pep517/issues/73
Background:
I ported a 16 year old package to Python 3, and tried to upload it to PyPi. I know the author name, but not his email address. Also, I think he does not like to get bothered with emails for a project he abandoned 16 years ago.
P.S.: I am working on a PR for this and update this issue accordingly. |
