I ported this to python

[Eloitor]

You can find it here: https://github.com/Eloitor/AnytypeCapture/tree/python

Detailed install instructions are not written yet. (you will need some dependencies).

1. python compile.py
2. python main.py

If you want I can push this into here, or maintain it in a separate repo but cross-referencing this.
I found it very inconvenient to call grpc functions, since I have to construct the objects first, and then call the function. The dictionary syntax from javascript is more flexible.

Hello @Eloitor, thanks for this Python port!

I installed dependencies (dotenv, grpcio-tools, prompt-toolkit, protobuf, psutil and thefuzz) and downloaded protos/descriptor.proto & protos/struct.proto from protocolbuffers/protobuf.

compile.py works well. main.py successfully get the port and establish a client. However in choose_type(), client.ObjectSearchWithMeta(req, metadata=metadata) fails:

_InactiveRpcError: <_InactiveRpcError of RPC that terminated with:
        status = StatusCode.PERMISSION_DENIED
        details = "method ObjectSearchWithMeta not allowed for Limited"
        debug_error_string = "UNKNOWN:Error received from peer  {grpc_message:"method
ObjectSearchWithMeta not allowed for Limited", grpc_status:7,
created_time:"2025-04-11T11:28:53.86080246+02:00"}"

Is this because of HTTP? Is the authentification now insufficient? Has the interface changed? Did I forget something?

If you activate issues on your fork, we can discuss there, or on Codeberg, as you indicate to have moved there.

mmm I have no idea... Did you update the anytype proto files before compiling them? https://codeberg.org/AnytypeScripts/Anytype-protos is outdated... but essentially was a copy form the official ones.

I prefer on codeberg if you wish... I'll delete the github repo eventually...
