Request to add new Trove classifiers.

Add sustainability science classifiers for topics that did not fall within any other classifiers. This is to be able to properly classify a vast number of packages developed for the sustainability science community.

Add Topic classifiers for:

  • Scientific/Engineering :: Ecology
  • Scientific/Engineering :: Industrial Ecology
  • Scientific/Engineering :: Socio-Ecosystem Metabolism
  • Scientific/Engineering :: Life Cycle Assessment

Why to add these classifiers?

These classifiers are needed for proper classification of Python packages that are related to sustainability science and environmental systems analysis, an interdisciplinary field that currently lacks adequate representation in PyPI's classifier taxonomy.

LCA is a well-established ISO-standardised methodology (ISO 14040/14044) with a
large ecosystem of Python tools (e.g., Brightway, SimaPro connectors,
OpenLCA). Industrial ecology and socio-ecosystem metabolism are active research fields with dedicated journals and international societies.

We expect these classifiers to be used by a great number of existing packages in environmental modelling, energy systems analysis, material flow accounting, and sustainability assessment — a community of several hundred Python packages
currently forced to use generic Information Analysis or Chemistry classifiers as poor substitutes.

    Add much needed sustainability science classifiers for topics that did not fall within any other classifiers. This is to be able to properly classify a vast number of packages developed for the sustainability science community.
Add Topic classifiers for:
