minio-py

I used to write libraries and have non-technical people who never programmed follow the documentation and use them. My reference point is that if they could do it, then programmers will have no trouble doing it. The next best thing is writing the doc before the actual code, and have others look at it and see if it makes sense, then I'd write the code that makes that possible.[0] - [0]: https://github.com/minio/minio-py/issues/829#issuecomment-65...

Yes. A case of it working well: https://github.com/minio/minio-py/issues/829 I found this issue for a problem I had with MinIO. I wrote a prototype: docs first and screencast on how the API would be. I then asked the other user if they had implemented it and if the API I was thinking about would suit them as it suited me. MinIO's CTO replied that it was the correct usage, but that it was not on the roadmap, which is understandable. I then started implementing the actual commands I needed first (host, ls, etc). Some time later, someone tweeted at us and asked how they could use the library. I then put it on PyPI (Python Package Index). I checked upon that person recently and they told be they've been using it for months without a problem. The other person also had commented and said they've been using it. https://pypistats.org/packages/bmc
