Re: [paho-dev] Status of paho.mqtt.python

Hi Pierre,

Great to hear from you.  The work you did a year or two ago on version 2 was really good.  Thanks!  The project's not dead at all - I think the code's in a good state.

It's good to see those bugs and issues closed just now.  I'll see how I can help with the issues back log, and the PRs moving forward. 

I'd love to hear your thoughts if you have any ideas, about what sort of review comments on PRs help you as a maintainer?  So many PRs seem to require a high level design decision to be made, that I don't presume to offer an opinion.

Best wishes,

James

Hello,

I'm still the only maintainer of the Python client, and while I haven't abandoned it, I indeed don't have enough time to do all maintenance needed by the project. Help is welcome, and having more that one committer would be valuable for the project.

If you are interested in becoming a commiter, a good start is helping with bugs and reviewing PRs. Do that for a bit and I can propose you as commiter. I'll try to be more responsive during the next weeks.

Regards,

Pierre

I wouldn't mind either jumping to a more active role on maintaining it.

I think it's very important to keep it up to date, since python is one of the most widely used languages.

Let's see if someone from eclipse actually shows up.

For what it's worth, I'm more than happy to pitch in on the maintenance side. I'm even happy to close my own PR if there's a conflict of interest.

James.

Hello everyone.

What's the current status of the Paho project, specifically the python client?

There are a bunch of PR's pending for review no one of the eclipse team gives signs of life.

From the commit history I can see the one taking care of this client was Pierre, is he still affiliated or active in other parts of eclipse?

Thanks;

Pau Figueras | Software Engineer
