Someone’s started a Python wrapper around the lemmy API

Do you like garlic bread?

I'd love to write a bot for my own community. I used to use praw, when reddit was a thing.

Can you see your wrapper being used this way? If so, is it ready for this yet? If so, is there any example code or docs on this?

Thanks for your work, it's very much appreciated.

Where does the name come from and what's going on on that logo?

I think that this question from my non bot account has not reached you:

Thanks for the wrapper :)

Two questions:

1. Where can I find the relation between languages and the languages_id ints?

2. When I log in into a lemmy instance I check the protected member _requestor.nodeinfo to detect if the problem it’s the connection or the user/password:

    lemmy = Lemmy(instance)
   
    if not lemmy.log_in(user, password):
        if not lemmy._requestor.nodeinfo:
            raise LemmyException(f"Sorry, cannot connect to lemmy instance {instance}.")
        raise LemmyException(
            f"Sorry, cannot login {user} into {instance}. Bad user or wrong password."
        )
   

   There is a better way to validate it?

(Sorry for repeating myself, my instance had a minor rollback)

Where does the name come from and what's going on on that logo? It looks like a snake with sunglasses, but I can't locate it's head or tail.
