Description
Summary: use Source
In addition to url (alias homepage), packages on PyPI can have this metadata:
project_urlsAn arbitrary map of URL names to hyperlinks, allowing more extensible documentation of where various resources can be found than the simple
urlanddownload_urloptions provide.
The url homepage is added into project_urls as homepage. For example, Pillow doesn't use define any project_urls but does have url="http://python-pillow.org",, and https://pypi.org/pypi/Pillow/json includes:
"home_page": "http://python-pillow.org",
"project_urls": {
"Homepage": "http://python-pillow.org"
},Many projects have a link to their GitHub (or GitLab or Bitbucket etc.) repos as the homepage. For those that include an arbitrary link to a source repo, what is the most common one, when not the homepage?
Checking the current top 5,000 packages, here is the project_url key where a source repo was found (defined as a URL containing one of github.com, gitlab.com, bitbucket.org or bitbucket.com):
