Request to add a new Trove classifier.

The name of the classifier(s) you would like to add:

  • Topic :: Scientific/Engineering :: Instrument Drivers
  • Topic :: Scientific/Engineering :: Instrument Drivers :: IVI Conformant

Why do you want to add this classifier?

  • Include a brief explanation to justify your request: IVI foundation represents the world-leading manufacturers of Test & Measurement equipment for hi-frequency electronics, optics, audio equipment and more... The usage of Python has grown dramatically in the use by the customers of our equipment. Therefore, we are developing instrument drivers to make it easy for the customers to automize their tasks with our instruments.
    The classifiers would greatly help the customers to find these drivers.

  • Why do the current classifiers not meet your need? : I went through the list of the existing classifiers, there is only hardware drivers classifier available.

  • How many projects do you expect to use this new classifier? - more than 20 equipment manufacturers, on average 15 drivers per manufacturer, we count with more than 300 projects

  • If you are requesting multiple classifiers, why do you need more than one? - One will be for python instrument drivers in general, the other one for project that are conform to a specification (IVI-Python) that we are currently putting together.

Hi pypi guys,

any news on this? We are finishing the standard for our Python drivers, and I wanted to get an update on the classifiers.

Cheers,
Milo

Hi @Miloslav-RS, thanks for your patience

more than 20 equipment manufacturers, on average 15 drivers per manufacturer, we count with more than 300 projects

Could you give us a few links to projects that would be able to immediately start using this classifier if it were added?

Hi @di,

we need to make couple of small adjustments, before we would be allowed to use the classifiers, but check out the project under my Rohde & Schwarz account, they are all the hot candidates:

https://pypi.org/user/mmrohdeschwarz/

These are just the ones from our company. If you like, I'll collect the links from another companies as well.

Cheers,
Milo
