Aslo, attaching the log from the publishing job just in case:
Job: https://github.com/unrealsolver/pyxlmapper/actions/runs/12727660052/job/35477433098

Error: Trusted publishing exchange failure: 
Token request failed: the server refused the request for the following reasons:

* `invalid-publisher`: valid token, but no corresponding publisher (All lookup strategies exhausted)

This generally indicates a trusted publisher configuration error, but could
also indicate an internal error on GitHub or PyPI's part.


The claims rendered below are **for debugging purposes only**. You should **not**
use them to configure a trusted publisher unless they already match your expectations.

If a claim is not present in the claim set, then it is rendered as `MISSING`.

Hi @unrealsolver ! Maybe the project already exists on PyPI.

The reason why the project page doesn't lead to anywhere might be because the owner of that project deleted all releases for it. For example, see this project which I own and deleted all releases of:

The project page also looks like the project doesn't exist: https://test.pypi.org/project/empty-test-package-99/,

The link in the error message doesn't show you anything because it will only work if you're logged-in as the owner of the project, since it leads to the publishing settings for it.

Indeed, this project already exists and has no releases. @unrealsolver, a request to acquire the package name here should be straightforward if you would like to.

In the meantime, I think we can improve the error message to differentiate whether the user is actually able to create a publisher for the project or whether they are unable. I'll update the issue title accordingly.

I'm working on this now

PR open here: #17405

Thank you very much @di , @facutuesca for helping! I'll create a request and will try to claim the name. The issue could be closed (unless you want to keep it open before merging #17405)

We can keep it open until the error message is improved, thanks!
