I don't get that people want notifications for basic stuff. I always turn off notifications and only leave the really important ones. Also no blinking lights or sounds or vibrations, I check my phone often enough and if it is really important those people can call me. Then social media is just a thing to scroll through while on the toilet .

Make it a configuration option for the package on pypi, then tooling can migrate slowly and at some point it can become the default for new packages. If then at some point someone uses old tooling the downside would be that they might need to do a manual publishing step to actually publish their package, but at least you don't have the problem of publishing before you are ready.

shouldn't pip then also look at the hashes (if provided) to determine which package to install? If it worked at one time it should keep working if there are "better" options available now. Consistency is important here.

still way less lines then I would have thought, especially because it has no dependencies.

this reminds me of https://youtu.be/_ahvzDzKdB0 awesome talk!
