Hi all, The official python bindings to libgfapi has been around for a while now in it's source repo[1] and the API documentation[2] is also up. However, it wasn't made available over regular release channels until now and users had to install it from source (which is very easy[3] for Python projects) There are few ways how libgfapi-python can be made available as packages over yum/pypi: 1. Import libgfapi-python repo as a git submodule in glusterfs repo. Modify the spec file to create a python-libgfapi package. (Or make it part of existing python-gluster package). This way it'll be part of glusterfs release cycle and development will continue to happen in it's external repo. 2. Have libgfapi-python maintain it's own release numbers and release lifecycle externally. Package it and make it available over pypi so that users can simply do a pip install. This will also allow python bindings to work with any glusterfs versions or release series (3.7, 3.8, master) which is really nice. 3. Import entire libgfapi-python source code into glusterfs repo and deprecate libgfapi-python repo. Continue all further development in glusterfs repo. My personal favourite is to make it available over pypi which will work across distros but pypi doesn't seem to be popular here. libgfapi-python bindings has been tested only against Linux x86-64 and Python versions 2.6 and 2.7 in Fedora/CentOS so far. Niels has setup a job in the CentOS CI infra that runs ligfapi python tests against glusterfs nightly builds. Your preference and inputs on how do we go about packaging libgfapi-python will help.
