Project owners can now archive their project to let users know that the project is not expected to receive any more updates. Finally, project archival is just the beginning: we’re also looking into additional maintainer-controlled project statuses, as well as additional PyPI features to improve both upstream and downstream experiences when handling project “lifecycles.” PyPI will also never delete or prune projects based on their archival status: archiving is intended solely to empower project maintainers to communicate their project’s status to downstream consumers.
