Have Facebook dropped support for Python?


The Python SDK seems to have been removed from Github. https://github.com/facebook/python-sdk returns a 404.

Have they moved the development somewhere else, dropped support, or is this just a mistake? The developer site still links to Github (see https://developers.facebook.com/opensource/) but that doesn't really mean much.

Does anyone have a clone?

Edit

I realise the API is still available but that's not really the point. Lots of third party packages rely on the SDK (like django-socialregistration). Deleting the repository has broken all of these (since it's often a package requirement) which, in turn, breaks site deployments.


Solution

  • Response From Facebook

    The official response from Facebook is

    We longer support or provide an official Facebook Python SDK. You can find several unofficial SDKs for Python, or you could use simple urllib.urlopen calls direct to the Graph API.
