Help with py-ipld?

[jbenet]

Hey everyone, py-ipfs seems a bit dormant for now. that's fine.

But things many people have requested is:

• py-ipld to match https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipld
• completeness of api Completeness? py-ipfs-http-client#42

In particular, it would be very helpful to have py-ipld.

py-ipld to match https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipld

See: bigchaindb/py-ipld#1

@jbenet I'd consider:

py-ipld to match https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipld

done for now.

@TimDaub - are you aware of anything that can create the IPLD json in Python, it looks like https://github.com/bigchaindb/py-ipld is only about converting the resulting json into CBOR and then Multihashing it, or am I missing something ?

This would be useful for a hackathon we are doing at the Internet Archive this weekend where we'd like to be taking one of the collections and being able to serve up IPLD files to IPFS.

Hi Mitra, unfortunately not, sorry :/ Maybe @jbenet knows? Best, Tim

@dhruvbaldawa started working on it recently! Track it here: https://github.com/ipld/py-ipld-dag

So far, @dhruvbaldawa contributed with:

• https://github.com/ipld/py-cid
• https://github.com/multiformats/py-multicodec
• https://github.com/multiformats/py-multibase

@mitra42 can you help out too? 🎉

I've checked out py-ipld-dag, and its unclear if that does a file sharding and building an IPLD or not (there is no Readme, comments, or tests, and the code is pretty opaque without explanation).

We might be able to help, but given we are planning on building some of this at a hackathon, its most likely we'd just have to pull something together quickly if there is no existing code for File>IPLD in Python. Can you point us at the Go version - might help guide the coding?
