I checked the pypi (pycocotools · PyPI) and GitHub (GitHub - ppwwyyxx/cocoapi: Contains the "pycocotools" package on PyPI. Changes made to the official cocoapi about packaging.) for the pycocotools package and can’t see a way to contact the package maintainers. I usually would use the Issues tab on GH, but there isn’t one. Does anyone have a suggestion how to reach out to those maintainers?
It looks to be an individual’s repository rather than an organisation’s repository. And forked from an older original repo.
That suggests to me that it’s only very lightly maintained (possibly mainly for their own use) and they probably don’t want to be supporting people’s issues.
I suspect you could find an email address for the owner of the repository in the git history. However do give some thought about whether it’s a reasonable request that you’re sending.
Thanks for raising these points. I think I got my issue worked out, so my request is moot at this point.
PyPi’s help also says to contact package maintainers if there are issues with packages and pycocotools is a dependency in torchvision, which is where my issue started, so I thought there’d be some kind of feeback tool, but I guess not. I’m not a developer so there might be some practices here I’m not aware of.
Thanks for taking the time to consider my post.
