Python API and packaging for pip

[Bengreen]

I was hoping to use python to access BaseX and was looking through the available packages and clients on the basex site.
I followed the links to the basex repo (here) and found two different python directories (python and python3).
I looked into the python directory and found (from the headers) it does not support basex greater than 7.3 (the new salt is required for 8.x).
I then looked into python3 (although I don't use python3) and found that it was actually python 2 compatible. I have been testing with it and it works very well. Labelling as python3 seems misleading.

I suggest to remove the old python directory (only old pre 8.3 support anyhow) and then rename the python3 to python.

ALSO: are there any thoughts of packaging the python (in python3 dir) API onto python packaging repos. I expect the API would be a prime candidate as the code is very contained and does not depend on other software to work.
I am happy to create the distro files for this if necessary and contribute them. But unsure where to capture this in the directory structure ? or git repositories of basex?

Ben, thanks for the info. I have removed the old python files, and I have renamed python3 to python as you suggested.

I am happy to create the distro files for this if necessary and contribute them.

Would be great!

But unsure where to capture this in the directory structure ? or git repositories of basex?

Maybe in a sub-directory of the existing python directory?
