Question

I’m trying to build my first facebook app, and it seems that the python facebook (pyfacebook) wrapper is really out of date, and the most relevant functions, like stream functions, are not implemented.

Are there any mature python frontends for facebook? If not, what’s the best language for facebook development?

Answer 1

The updated location of pyfacebook is on github. Plus, as arstechnica well explains:

PyFacebook is also very easy to extend
when new Facebook API methods are
introduced. Each Facebook API method
is described in the PyFacebook library
using a simple data structure that
specifies the method’s name and
parameter types.

so, even should you be using a pyfacebook version that doesn’t yet implement some brand-new thing you need, it’s easy to add said thing, as Ryan Paul shows here regarding some of the stream functions (back in April right after they were launched).
