Maintenance & Support Substrate Python API (Oct-Dec 2023)

For the last four years, Polkascan Foundation has been maintaining the Substrate Python API: py-substrate-interface, py-scale-codec and several Python bindings for cryptographic RUST crates used by Substrate.

The Substrate Python API is a library, with similar features as Polkadot-JS API. With this API, Python developers can build apps that interact with any Polkadot, Kusama or other Substrate based chain. There are APIs for different programming languages and our API library is at the moment the only one available for the Python programming language.

As of writing 297 Github repositories and 23 Python packages are depending on the Python API.

With this treasury proposal, we are asking retroactive funding for our activities in the period October until December 2023.
