I mean patman is your code so it's ultimately not my call :P But yes, I'd strongly prefer you used the REST API! It is enabled on ozlabs.org and kernel.org and has been for a while (~a couple of years). > What is the status of pwclient? Is it dead?

All I am confident to say is that I have migrated to using 'git-pw' and I recommend others do so to too. I'm not sure if a dedicated Python client library exists: the last time I wanted to write a Python client app I found it simple enough to just use the JSON that the API provides directly. But the place I'd start with is git-pw.
