How does "Used by" work? #21635
-
Hi! There are already some topics on problems with the “Used by” feature, about dependants not being listed or GitHub failing to identify the packages that the repository provides. The latter case is the trigger for this topic. More specifically, GitHub doesn’t infere that the repository here provides the packages Still, I’d of course like for the dependents to be listed. So my question is basically two-fold:
Bonus question: If GitHub can not automatically infere the provided package/s, can we have an option to manually set those? That could e.g. be verified by checking that the GitHub repo referenced on the project page of the corresponding package manager. I’d be happy for hints! |

Those types of packages are not tracked and would be overlooked for manifest detection.

Hi @Bibo-Joshi , thanks for your patience here.
I reassigned the
python-telegram-bot
andpython-telegram-bot-raw
packages to your repository.I suspect that your assumptions about the setup.py file for the name may have made it difficult for our algorithm to find the proper package association.
There currently is no option to manually set these package associations.
