Launching Deleted PyPI Package index, a way to find and install all your deleted Python packages

Hey all, we’re happy to announce the launch of the Deleted PyPI Package index, a way to find and install all your deleted Python packages.

We know that missing Python packages are extremely disruptive and can really slow you and your team down when you’re about to ship your product. In our case, it was Jaxlib 0.0.4 that was deleted around 2024-04-04 and broke the builds of our various machine learning Docker containers.

The Deleted PyPI Package index allows you to download the packages that you were relying on before they were deleted. It provides developers with an easy way to access and download missing packages, ensuring that their development workflows remain uninterrupted. Whether you choose to sign up for StableBuild and seamlessly integrate with our platform  by pinning back in time or simply download the files for one-time use is up to you.

For instance, installing with PIP is as simple as this (note the date  2024-04-04):

pip3 install \
  -i https://YOUR_API_KEY.pypimirror.stablebuild.com/2024-04-03/ \
  jaxlib==0.4.4

And you're ready to go!

We understand the importance of security when it comes to downloading packages. That's why we've synced our system with a vulnerability database, ensuring that you are informed .

Looking ahead, we're planning to expand our vulnerability scanning capabilities even further. Soon, you'll have the option to set policies that automatically block packages that pose a higher security risk.

With the PyPI Missing Package Index, we hope to make your development process a little smoother and less stressful. Keep an eye out for future updates as we continue to enhance our platform.
