alt Hacker Newsbtw, you can claim "relax" name instead of "relaxai" on pypi
pypi.org/project/relax is abandoned library, which owner registered via email with expired custom domain, so you can claim this domain and reset owner's account by email.

And create yet another completely non-descriptive package name?
It's probably a better idea to follow the process documented in PEP 541 [1] and contact the PyPI admins to request a transfer of the name. Taking over the domain to impersonate the original owner would look indistinguishable from a supply-chain attack.
