paste uses a lot of deprecated functionality, much of it related to old libraries like cgi and cgitb.

When Python 3.13 becomes the main Python release this deprecated functionality will be removed and without a fair bit of work paste will stop working.

I personally do not think we should continue to maintain paste. It is an old tool using old technology that is no longer aligned with modern techniques or tools.

I would like us to consider winding it down but I'm not certain who should be involved in the discussion so pinging some of the people who have made contributions to the project over the last while: @a-detiste , @amitmarkel , @benjaminp , @Cito , @cjwatson , @CyrilRoelandteNovance , @blueyed , @brondsem , @hugovk , and of course @ianb .

Please register your opinion.

If you feel like paste should carry on living, and want to volunteer to take over maintenance I'm very willing to transfer ownership.

I also maintain pastescript and feel it should end too, so if someone wants to take them as a package deal that would be great.
