pyramid_beaker needs a maintainer

[Michael Merickel]

Hey folks, pyramid_beaker is a very thin wrapper around beaker. It has a few pending pull requests and such, but no major issues AFAIK. It would be helpful if someone wanted to step up and review / fix things and push a release.

Feel free to contact me directly if you'd like access to the github repo and PyPI to issue releases.

Thanks!

What about officially sunsetting it?

* beaker is not actively maintained, and has not been for years
* pyramid handles the client-side sessions natively

* there are many maintained plugins for server-side sessions

* caching of components can be done by packages like dogpile, which are actively maintained

This is no longer true and hasn't been for maybe a year.

Beaker works with non-client-side sessions.

 

* there are many maintained plugins for server-side sessions

The only one that has been used by enough people to warrant exposure is pyramid_redis_sessions.

 

* caching of components can be done by packages like dogpile, which are actively maintained

Beaker is actively maintained.
