libp2p for Python

An experiment to see if i can understand the specs of libp2p protocol and then try to implement it in python. this was forked from amstocker/python-libp2p

This is what I want to currently only implements:

  • Interface peer routing

    A valid (read: that follows this abstraction) stream muxer, must implement the following API. Find peers 'responsible' or 'closest' to a given key:

    class PeerRouting(object)
      def find_peers(key)
        """
        Args:
          key: key is a multihash (https://github.com/multiformats/multihash)
        Returns:
          An iterable of peers ordered by closeness
        """

    In a peer to peer context, the concept of 'responsability' or 'closeness' for a given key translates to having a way to find deterministically or that at least there is a significant overlap between searches, the same group of peers when searching for the same given key.

    This method will query the network (route it) and return a Priority Queue datastructe with a list of PeerInfo objects, ordered by 'closeness'.
