9+description = "Write an Urbit HTTP API (aka airlock) for Python"
11+assignee = "novbyr-miclux"
19+This proposed project will produce an API in Python language to interact with Urbit ship over HTTP with these [guidelines][airlock_requirements_link] in mind.

25+1. Basic HTTP Interface: Building a mechanism for sending and receiving JSON to/from an Urbit ship. The features in urlock-py will be integrated into this repository.
26+2. Graph Store Interface: Interaface to graph-store Urbit API.
27+3. Additional Agent Interfaces: Interface to the group-store and contact-store Gall agent.
29+This will be done using the structure of [urbit http java api][urbit_http_api_java_link]

35+I have been programming in Python for 5+ years now. I have used Python for a wide range of tasks like scientific computing, machine learning, batch scripting etc. I am currently in the 4th year of my PhD program. I am also a contributor to an open source Python project UQpy as part of my PhD.
43+A Github repository of the Python API complete with the proposed features, installation guide(README) will be developed and released.
