Python ActivityPub packages

federation

It is not dedicated to ActivityPub and oriented towards an abstraction of social media protocols. The ActivityPub implementation is probably partial as a result and difficult to re-use in another context.

activitystreams2

It is no longer maintained but has been maintained for about a year and may be a good starting point because the standard did not evolve much recently.

Here are a bunch of projects we collected back in 2019 (so some are probably inactive/unmaintained), quality may vary and most are not positioned as “libraries” (so I hope I’m not off topic) :

• microblog.pub https://github.com/tsileo/microblog.pub
• little-boxes : https://github.com/tsileo/little-boxes
• activitypub : https://github.com/dsblank/activitypub
• pubgate : https://github.com/autogestion/pubgate
• pubgate-rssbot : https://github.com/autogestion/pubgate-rssbot
• activitypub-example : https://github.com/tOkeshu/activitypub-example
• pylodon : https://github.com/rowanlupton/pylodon
  federa https://github.com/sgenoud/federa

More recently :

• fedireads https://github.com/mouse-reeve/fedireads

• microblog.pub Still in early development/I do not recommend to run an instance yet
• little-boxes : not actively maintained
• activitypub : not actively maintained
• pubgate : Asyncronous Lightweight ActivityPub API / CMS Extension for PubGate federates rss-feeds
• activitypub-example : not actively maintained
• pylodon : there is no description: what does it do ? and it is not maintained.
• federa not actively maintained

And this one is very interesting because it is federation applied to something that’s not microblogging (Social reading and reviewing) and is actively maintained:

• fedireads , renamed bookwyrm

• microblog.pub relies little-boxes (which is not actively maintained).
• Note that socialhome relies on federation library: it can be reused in another context
• bridgy-fed is a maintained bridge which implements the ActivityPub Server-to-Server federation protocol:

  it bridges the IndieWeb to federated social networks: ActivityPub, OStatus,

federation and bridgy-fed projects are both listed here - Fedeproxy is already listed on this website too .

(I heavily edited this post since I missed out that federation project is mentioned on the first post of this thread …)
