We manage a C++/Python framework called Bob (http://idiap.github.io/bob/). We have arranged so that you can easily install Bob on a selected set of platforms and then use PyPI to download and install applications using our library.

We already have around 50-70 packages now on PyPI. It is getting difficult to track the growth. One possibility somebody suggested was the use of PyPI trove classifiers to be able to tag packages that would work with our framework.

I've searched around the net, but did not find a clear set of guidelines or rules on how/when to apply for a new trove classifier to be added to PyPI. Are there any? How to apply?

Answer 1

Seems that requests like this are usually submitted through the bugtracker (on sourceforge or bitbucket).

You should try on one of them, SF seems to be more active.

Answer 2

The pypi help docs on adding a trove classifier send you to https://github.com/pypa/trove-classifiers/ where you can create issues to request new classifiers or add them via PR.
