Hi all!

There are four devrant clients (in the famous list, awesome devRant) regarding Python but they're all bad quality or incomplete.

So, I exported the asyncio api client that I made for my bot to his own package called devranta. The a in the end stands for async.

Source code and pre-build packages can be found here: https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/...

By my knowledge, this is the most complete and highest quality Python client out there.

I hope someone will use it someday.

I keep just continuing building projects use or not as portfolio content. Also, i needed this client for another project. I want to make a bot that auto-corrects my English. Only the typo's / grammar will be fixed. They will remain my own sentences. So most texts won't be updated at all. It doesn't rewrite my texts. I created a web service for correcting English for that, i'll release that soon. Some minor fixes left.

Still have to add types and such for all my
python related projects. I consider them useless. Terrible to spend time on.

    Tho. Touch grass. We are ~30-40 active people here. You should really put your energy elsewhere.

    @Tounai four times that in the span of two weeks. I have statistics. But also - as i stated - it's for portfolio. I want a wide range of projects to show in decent quality for future customers / employers.

    @Tounai and since there's no reason why the community is so small now, it can become bigger again too! I've faith. Maybe we should put whole devRant in AI and ask it for observation that caused less visitors. Was reddit for example already a thing when devRant was popular? Maybe we had a lot of people of certain generation?

    Also, the internet became a few website thing. Most people just visit a few websites these days and do hesitate to create an account somewhere. Maybe google auth would be nice upgrade for devrant.

    Also, my statistics are people who actually comment / write rants. I think in reality it's more about 500 users. Most people only read. I also see in my upvotes names you never see writing / commeting. And upvoting is also something not every one does. So, when it comes to readers, it's still quite a community.

    If you want details about the health of devRant (and devRant is in a good health according to this): https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/...

    @retoor maybe you are counting all the spammers, bots and all the ostream accounts?

    @cafecortado spammers do not get counted since their rant is deleted. I had 300+ mentions recently in time span of a long week. I can spend hours on devRant. If you're active yourself, you also get more action from others. Just say shit people do agree with or not agree with. I'm half way in the popularity list regarding comments so I'm quite controversial. My mentions to up vote ratio is quite high. Sad that rants like this don't get up voted more, you would think some dev work is rewarded. Anyway, I keep on going. It's for portfolio also. It's never for nothing. All the C applications I've build were good for skills but those were really for nothing because there's no job in it. These python projects will get me a backend job. I do everything correct with docs / tests / build server / make files / standards. It's not shit.

    "this is the most complete python client out there"
    -> readme contains multiple todos

    Also can you make it just return lists instead of generator
    Miniscule performance overhead (not like that's important for python) but so much nicer to use

    Would have contributed but its impossible due to your custom gitea where nobody else can register
    Seriously consider moving to GitHub or at least GitLab (can still keep yours as a mirror)

    @devRancid I agree. Fuck the generator. Will change this now.

    @devRancid I can make an account for you if you want. Or maybe I can make registering open. I come from github and will never go back.

    I still have there 56 repositories or so.

    @devRancid you can register now! Email-adress does not have to be valid, you can stay anonymous. No email validation required. The only security it has, is a captha ;)

    @devRancid I converted it to list. When I was building tests I already thought like "hmm, what anoying they are.".

    Unit tests are updated.

    And yes, even with the few todo's it's the most complete client! I didn't need the futures that I miss yet. But in my future project I need so... It will come!

    @devRancid if you want to join a dev performance battle: https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/...

    I'm losing a bit now, but not after my next update tomorrow or so.

    Rayon should be considered a cheat.

    @Tounai doesn't matter, I will beat the shit outta it. Mine uses forking out of lazyness and is already doing well. It's @12bitfloat

    @retoor
    Regarding your portfolio, I never even checked once in the recruiting processes I’ve been involved in. Unless it’s a really complex piece of software or a very popular one, I don’t think it matters at all. Your ability to get a job is related to your ability to speak bullshit.
    Regardless, I am not telling you to not do code, I am telling you to put efforts where it matters.
    Regarding the future of DR, don’t have too much hopes. The beginning of the internet is way behind, growing as an application is significantly more complex and requires a significant amount of efforts to be known, especially that any american company can come on your field and outbid you almost instantly with stupid amounts of investment.

    @retoor reminds me of my university years. It was fun.

    @retoor I am curious – is it faster with or without forking?

    In the history of thin which did not happen, this did not happen the most.

    You would be fired immediatlly after disconecting from first meeting.

    And I would fire you myself. This is not a notmal; employee behavior. No one wants you
