I have been using Jason Orendorff's path.py module for a long time. It is very

It has a "public domain" license so I could easily fork it and make this small
change. The question is what is the best way to do that and ensure continuity
with the previous versions. Can I (or someone else) take over the PyPI entry in

You cannot "take over" a project on PyPI. You can only fork the project with a
new name. In fact, this has already been done:
