Cannot login with pyEdsby anymore - August 2018 update?

[kevxlreee]

Edsby pushed a significant August 2018 update with a new login process. Creating a new edsby object errors:

I see- PyEdsby was built around the previous implementation, so if this is the case you will most likely have to re-implement that login flow in order to retrieve an authenticated session for the library.

I'm not sure whether or not all Edsby instances use this login flow, recently @EricRabil got his TypeScript implementation working with a similar method to what's used in PyEdsby.

Would you have any interest in submitting a PR for that?

[kevxlreee]

I will definitely try and get a PR together soon - thanks.

From what I've read this new update has been rolled out since August and should be finishing soon.

Fantastic! Thanks for the effort and the info, they’re greatly appreciated :)

I've still got access to my instance, so I'll be able to work on this too.

@kevxlreee Oh! That would be great. Could you send that to me at david@hmnd.io?

[EricRabil]

@kevxlreee Hi, I too am working on an Edsby library and having demo credentials would not only help me contribute to PyEdsby but also my own. If you are comfortable with the idea, could you also send credentials to me at ericjrabil@gmail.com?
