AnyMetaAPI

AnyMetaAPI is a Python-based support library for accessing AnyMeta-based websites. This package provides the core functionality through its anymeta.api module. Additionally, it contains various other modules to provide more features, including anymeta.registry, which allows for the registration and storage of necessary OAuth credentials for accessing AnyMeta; anymeta.xmpp, which enables content federation via the Publish-Subscribe XMPP component; anymeta.availability, which includes application-availability classes to monitor power and internet usage; anymeta.queue, which is a failsafe queueing system for applications that are not always online; anymeta.gtk.registry, a graphical user interface for connecting to AnyMeta sites; and finally anymeta.gtk.autocomplete, an autocomplete-widget for searching.

The anymeta.api module is designed to be simple and clean, with minimal dependencies beyond simplejson, oauth and pydataportability.xrds. However, the other packages require additional dependencies to work correctly. AnyMeta.gtk.* modules require the installation of PyGTK for the specific platform, while anymeta.xmpp requires the Wokkel library for XMPP communication and the twisted framework as a network platform. AnyMeta.queue depends on sqlite3, whereas anymeta.availability requires fizzjik, twisted, and optionally PyGTK.

In conclusion, AnyMetaAPI is a useful library that provides a range of modules for developers to create applications that interact with AnyMeta-based websites. It is also designed to be versatile, with modules that can be used depending on the project's requirements. However, the additional dependencies required for some of its features might be a consideration when deciding to utilize the library.
