PyPI now supports project archival. Neat new PyPI feature, similar to GitHub's archiving repositories feature. You can now mark a PyPI project as "archived", making it clear that no new releases are planned (though you can switch back out of that mode later if you need to).
I like the sound of these future plans around this topic:
Project archival is the first step in a larger project, aimed at improving the lifecycle of projects on PyPI. That project includes evaluating additional project statuses (things like "deprecated" and "unmaintained"), as well as changes to PyPI's public APIs that will enable clients to retrieve and act on project status information. You can track our progress on these fronts by following along with warehouse#16844!
