Tiny [ActivityPub](https://activitypub.rocks/) framework written in Python, both database and server agnostic.
**Still in early development, and not published on PyPI yet.**
Until a first version is released, the main goal of this framework is to power the [microblog.pub microblog engine](http://github.com/tsileo/microblog.pub).
## Features
- Database and server agnostic
- You need to implement a backend that respond to activity side-effects
- This also mean you're responsible for serving the activities/collections and receiving them
- ActivityStreams helper classes
- with Outbox/Inbox abstractions
- Content helper using Markdown
- with helpers for parsing hashtags and linkify content
- Key (RSA) helper
- HTTP signature helper
- JSON-LD signature helper
- Webfinger helper
## Getting Started
```python
from little_boxes import activitypub as ap
from mydb import db_client
class MyBackend(ap.Backend):
def __init__(self, db_connection):
self.db_connection = db_connection
def inbox_new(self, as_actor: ap.Person, activity: ap.Activity) -> None:
# Save activity as "as_actor"
# [...]
def post_to_remote_inbox(self, as_actor: ap.Person, payload: ap.ObjectType, recipient: str) -> None:
# Send the activity to the remote actor
# [...]
db_con = db_client()
my_backend = MyBackend(db_con)
ap.use_backend(my_backend)
me = ap.Person({}) # Init an actor
outbox = ap.Outbox(me)
follow = ap.Follow(actor=me.id, object='http://iri-i-want-follow')
outbox.post(follow)
```
