Looking for a maintainer familiar with Python! 🙏

[lidel]

This project needs a maintainer that will ensure this library works with Kubo RPC (https://docs.ipfs.tech/reference/kubo/rpc/)

Kubo team will be maintaining GO and JS libraries, but we need someone familiar with Python to step up and help with this one.

If you are interested, please comment below.

Interested

I am interested in maintaining this library

[crushr3sist]

I'm also interested, my work-around to integrating ipfs in my python app is kind of tedious to work with :( please let me know if I can do anything to help out

[JustinGirard]

Yo I need to use this library and I think its version check code just died. I can perhaps take a look. (I fixed it for myself personally, by removing the version check, which is just horrid, but I am willing to take a deeper gander.)

Hi all, firstly, I apologize for missing notifications on this.

I've granted maintenance permissions to @kasteph who will be taking this over,
and will coordinate sharing maintenance with anyone who has time to help. 🙏

Hey @willcharlton @JustinGirard @hemangjoshi37a @Wizock -- I'm working on #320 at the moment. This PR will probably be bigger than expected as we need to address a lot of breaking changes since then. Let me know if you have capacity and what you'd be interested on working with then we can coordinate.

[crushr3sist]

@kasteph I'm so down, coordinate away. Im open to any tasks, errors, unit tests, documentation or optimisations etc. Looking forward to helping out.

[kasteph]

Awesome @Wizock -- to start with, I think reviewing the open PRs and seeing if any of them are still relevant would be a huge help. Otherwise, I will assign you to an issue that addresses the pubsub deprecation.

edit: @Wizock if you'd like to take a stab at it #322 (not sure why but I cannot assign you to the issue)

[crushr3sist]

@kasteph awesome I'll get started on #322 right now.

Sorry for the long silence!

I just wanted to write here to confirm that I will no longer be taking part in any development activities regarding py-ipfs-api-client. Things have changed a lot since I last did anything in early 2021 and its become very obvious that I will no longer be spending much time on software outside of my tutoring job. I know there have been communication attempts regarding this subject before (particularly regarding ownership of the PyPI project), but I hadn’t really been prepared to hand off this project for good yet…

So what I’m saying is: Just let me know what you need in terms of permissions and handover and I’ll be responsive regarding that now. If there is any questions regarding the existing codebase I can answer those as well. You can also remove my permissions from this repository as I’ll no longer be using them.

(Also: Sorry to everyone having been stuck on go-ipfs 0.7.0 or having to maintain their own fork because of this!)

Sincerely,
Erin

@ntninja I am really excited about this and maintain it . can you make me in-charge and give me all the permission to take it further from this ?

[ntninja]

@hemangjoshi37a: I was actually hoping to hand this over to someone with prior experience of the codebase (at least a sensible open PR or something) and your request does feel pretty… random. I could be missing something obvious here, but do you have any affiliation with this project at all? Or someone to vouch for you?

[hemangjoshi37a]

@ntninja I use AI agents to code so I don't need to understand anything. They will understand for me and code for me. Software programming is dead anyways killed by agentic workflow. If you don't know what I am talking about then you are living in the stone age.
