Hey all!
Just uploaded a Discourse API wrapper for Twisted/Python.
It includes some tests and an example to help you get started. You can find it [right here](https://github.com/theGeoffrey/txDiscourse). Have fun!
(for those wondering Twisted is an event-driven network programming framework written in Python. [Check it out!](https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/)
