Reasons for the request

I am requesting the transfer of the package name pyDOE under the rules of [PEP 541](https://peps.python.org/pep-0541/).

The project appears to be abandoned, based on the following evidence:

• No releases or updates since 2015 (last version: 0.3.8).
• The package is incompatible with modern Python versions.
• Forks such as pyDOE2 and pyDOE3 exist because the original maintainer has been inactive.
• Multiple community members (myself included) have attempted contact without success.

I intend to continue maintaining pyDOE to provide the community with a single, modern, and reliable package for Design of Experiments in Python, consistent with PEP 541’s goal of enabling continued maintenance of abandoned projects.

Maintenance or replacement?

Maintenance

Source code repositories URLs

Original project:
🔗 https://github.com/tisimst/pyDOE

Proposed maintained fork:
🔗 https://github.com/pydoe/pyDOE3

Organization:
🔗 https://github.com/pydoe/
🔗 https://pypi.org/org/pydoe/

If the transfer is successful, maintenance will continue under the pyDOE name with compatibility and modern updates.

Contact and additional research

I have attempted to contact the current maintainer, Abraham Lee (PyPI username: tisimst.myopenid.com):

• Email sent: Thu, Sep 18, 11:57 AM → tisimst@gmail.com (no response).

The maintainer appears inactive:

• No PyPI releases or GitHub commits since 2015.
• Numerous open issues and pull requests remain unaddressed.
• The project repository shows no visible maintenance activity for nearly a decade.

This satisfies PEP 541’s definition of an abandoned project (unreachable maintainer, no releases in 12+ months, no external activity).
