Hello everyone!
I want to un-retire the package python-pyswip.
According to "dead.package" the reason for retiring this package is/was:
"SWI Prolog (package pl) has been retired from Fedora, this package
provided Python bindings for SWI Prolog."
I checked this with Jerry James (maintainer of SWI Prolog (package pl):
To his recall, the former maintainer of that package retired it on the
same day that he saved SWI Prolog from being retired.
PySwip seems to have an active upstream.
For me a Python/Prolog bridge has two advantages:
*) Easier to learn Prolog because I am familiar with Python.
*) Possibility to extend Python with Prolog-reasoning.

Hi Christoph,
since the package was retired for so long it needs to be re-review again to
be un-retired.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Orphaned_package_that_need_new_maintainers
Retired Fedora packages (master/devel/rawhide branch retired) require a re-
review if they are retired for more than eight weeks or if there is no
previous review of the package. Submit a review request (a new bugzilla
ticket) and have the package approved by a reviewer as if it were new to
Fedora. See the package review
The package was retired in May of 2019 and so this applies here.
Best regards,
