Are you aware of https://github.com/dims/etcd3-gateway ?

How would you say etcd3-py compares against etcd3-gateway? Could you work together instead of apparently duplicating effort?

this repo supports python2 and python3 with asyncio

and stateful utils with human friendly api

[nelljerram]

Thanks. I think etcd3-gateway also supports python2 and python3, but maybe not asyncio.

[Revolution1]

yeah, it does support python2

etcd3-gateway does not support user/pass authentication. We are replacing with etcd3-py

[nelljerram]

FWIW, we implemented user/pass authentication by subclassing the Etcd3Client class, as you can see here: https://github.com/projectcalico/calico/blob/master/networking-calico/networking_calico/etcdv3.py#L388-L472

@neiljerram that is a simple solution, I liked it. Is there a reason it was not upstreamed?

[nelljerram]

@heitorPB Ah, good question!

I don't recall thinking about this carefully at the time, but I guess the thought in my mind was that the solution might not work for all possible uses of Etcd3Client. As the commenting says, I was comfortable that it works in all the cases that Calico (my project) needs - but it's possible that there are other cases not covered.

Nevertheless, I think it's right to try upstreaming, and then the discussion can discuss that - so will plan to do this shortly.
