  MinIO Client SDK for Python

  

Yes. A case of it working well: https://github.com/minio/minio-py/issues/829

I found this issue for a problem I had with MinIO. I wrote a prototype: docs first and screencast on how the API would be. I then asked the other user if they had implemented it and if the API I was thinking about would suit them as it suited me. MinIO's CTO replied that it was the correct usage, but that it was not on the roadmap, which is understandable.

I then started implementing the actual commands I needed first (host, ls, etc). Some time later, someone tweeted at us and asked how they could use the library. I then put it on PyPI (Python Package Index). I checked upon that person recently and they told be they've been using it for months without a problem. The other person also had commented and said they've been using it.

It's a really, really, small library for a niche need, also asked people for feedback here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26540342

Now I'm getting feature requests on that issue, but I'll soon do it properly in a repo to make it easier for people.
