sewer 0.8.3

Sewer is a programmatic Lets Encrypt(ACME) client

Sewer

Sewer is a Let's Encrypt(ACME) client.
It's name is derived from Kenyan hip hop artiste, Kitu Sewer.

• The current release is 0.8.3.
• More history in the CHANGELOG.

Note that with 0.8.3, the promise made elsewhere about stuff changing is starting to come true. --action is still accepted but deprecated, and will be dropped soon. Likewise --dns, replaced by --provider. Some new options have been added, and more of both additional features and breaking changes lie ahead.

PYTHON compatibility: 3.5 is nominally still supported, and with assistance from Github's multi-version Python linting I've caught a couple things. I believe that the main code is 3.5 clean, but there are a few legacy DNS drivers that may not run under 3.5. For 0.8.3 I will fix any reported 3.5 issues, but I suspect this will be the last release to promies that.

sewer maintainer @mmaney can often be found on freenode in ##sewer for those who remember IRC. Don't ask to ask!

• sewer is both a command-line program and a Python library for custom use
• Well written(if I have to say so myself):
  • Good test coverage
  • Passing continuous integration
  • High grade statically analyzed code

FAQ

• Why another ACME client?
  I wanted an ACME client that I could use to programmatically(as a library) acquire/get certificates. However I could not find anything satisfactory for use in Python code.
• Why is it called Sewer? I really like the Kenyan hip hop artiste going by the name of Kitu Sewer.
