Hello all! So I haven't been participating in the conversations on-list (even though I have strong opinions) lately, because I've been hacking like mad to get out the first release of Activipy, v0.1! http://activipy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ https://github.com/w3c-social/activipy Some things I think are interesting about Activipy: - It wraps ActivityStreams documents in pythonic style objects - Has a nice and extensible method dispatch system that even works well with ActivityStreams/json-ld's composite types. - It has an "Environment" feature: different applications might need to represent different vocabularies or extensions, and also might need to hook up entirely different sets of objects. - It hits a good middle ground in keeping things simple, until you need complexity. Everything's "just json", until you need to get into extension-land, in which case json-ld features are introduced. (Under the hood, that's always been there, but users don't necessarily need to understand json-ld to work with it.) - Good docs! I think! Or I worked really hard on them, at least! The docs, I think, are a good guide into how to get up and running with ActivityStreams and make it useful for your application: http://activipy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ Please do read, try it out, and give feedback! Happy hacking, - Chris
