Hi Jos,
                
                the answer is yes :-)
                
                I wrote a Python binding a while ago, but when I first
                talked about it, a had a couple of comments about a pure
                Python client being more desirable, so I let it have a
                low profile.  I haven't touched it in a couple of years,
                so it might need updating.  You can find it in the test
                directory of project:
                
                
https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.c/tree/master/test/python
                
                If there is interest, I can look into adding it to the
                project properly.  And obviously I would appreciate any
                contributions made in this area :-)
                
                I haven't done any performance comparisons between
                Python and C implementations, so I can't comment to the
                size of the advantage, if any.

Hi,
                  
                  Just wondering:
                  
                  The Paho-MQTT Python package now seems to implement
                  the MQTT protocol
                  purely in Python.  I'm using it and in principle I'm
                  happy with it.
                  
                  But did someone ever think of writing a Python binding
                  for the Paho-C
                  library and could that improve performance for
                  high-volume clients
                  (think of thousands of messages per second
                  received/published)?
