It's funny, I used to have a very popular (~2k pageviews a month, 1st or second search result on google) tutorial on how to get a package onto pypi. I deleted it because since then the PyPI team have written a good guide on how to do it: https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/packaging-projects/ . If you're reading this and wondering how to create a python package, follow that. Everything else is going to be wrong, or out-of-date, or worse.

It might have been better to leave the content up, but put a large disclaimer recommending the official guide. Is there any reason you didn’t do this?

Speaking for myself, when I skim an article first, I look for code examples and work my way backwards. I have missed disclaimers before.

Well, and no harm done then. We shouldn't be taking historical content offline just because people have become too inattentive to analyze things top to bottom. The code might even just work still.

Change starts at home.

Personally, I would try very hard to avoid deleting things that I put up on my website, if that's what you were asking.

[kough]

I wasn't asking anything. The web is ephemeral and the information on that page became superfluous.
