Tiny [ActivityPub](https://activitypub.rocks/) framework written in Python, both database and server agnostic.

**Still in early development, and not published on PyPI yet.**

## Getting Started

```python
from little_boxes import activitypub as ap

from mydb import db_client


class MyBackend(BaseBackend):

def __init__(self, db_connection):
self.db_connection = db_connection

def inbox_new(self, as_actor, activity):
# Save activity as "as_actor"
# [...]

def post_to_remote_inbox(self, as_actor, payload, recipient):
# Send the activity to the remote actor
# [...]


db_con = db_client()
my_backend = MyBackend(db_con)

ap.use_backend(my_backend)

me = ap.Person({}) # Init an actor
outbox = ap.Outbox(me)

follow = ap.Follow(actor=me, object='http://iri-i-want-follow')
outbox.post(follow)
```
