Python ActivityPub server implementation #427

Closed MineRobber9000 closed 6 years ago

Please Indicate One:

Please Describe the Issue:

Do any Python implementations of ActivityPub exist?

By this, I mean are there any basic implementation server projects in Python (reference implementations or not) that I could reference? I'm working on a simple social network as a hobby project and was wondering how it would be implemented. I'm also having trouble understanding the tutorial.

@MineRobber9000 this is the ActivityStreams issue tracker. Did you mean ActivityStreams or ActivityPub?

MineRobber9000 commented 7 years ago

@strugee probably. this organizational system is confusing to me. where should I put this to get a good response? (i.e; where is the correct place to ask this question?)

strugee commented 7 years ago

@MineRobber9000 the ActivityPub repo is probably a decent place, or you could pop into #social on irc.w3.org (here's an introduction to IRC if you need it). There's also an XMPP room which is bridged with the IRC channel, i.e. messages sent in one will appear in the other: https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg#IRC

You could also try the mailing list at public-socialweb-comments@w3.org, but that's much less active than the issue tracker and IRC and people might not see your questions.

Also, related - please feel free to file issues about any parts of the tutorial that are confusing. I'm sure @cwebber would love to get feedback and improve it :-)

Hey @MineRobber9000 . I have a federation protocol library in Python that currently supports Diaspora protocol and I want to add ActivityPub support for it, hopefully within a few months or so. If you want, check it out, it would be great to collaborate (ie not being the only consumer of the library ;)).

The library is at https://github.com/jaywink/federation

@MineRobber9000 https://github.com/rowanlupton/smilodon is an ActivityPub WIP implementation written in Python btw!

@MineRobber9000 has your question been answered? If so, will you resolve this issue?

MineRobber9000 commented 6 years ago

@gobengo My question has indeed been answered. If anyone comes across this while Googling, I ended up using @rowanlupton's pylodon.
