Packet Python is a hand maintained SDK managed by Equinix employees and the community of users. This SDK has been used by Packet and Equinix Metal users and developers for various integrations including the Packet and Metal Ansible Collections.
With the acquisition of Packet by Equinix and the relaunching of Packet's service as Equinix Metal, the name "packet-python" is showing its age. Additionally, the scope of services offered by Equinix Metal has expanded beyond the rate of contributions to this repo.
The Equinix Metal API's published API Spec has been evolving in this time. It is now ready to be used in generated SDKs and those SDKs are proving ready for integrations like Ansible, Cluster API, the Metal CLI, and Terraform.
