pwclient is alive and won't be going anywhere, but it's still using the now-deprecated XML-RPC API. Eventually this will move to the REST API, but I just haven't found the time to do so yet. > 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.

However, the Patchwork API itself is very trivial so requests should get you what you want very easily.
