Project naming and Organization

Hi, thanks for setting up this new fork. This is to be intended as a suggestion and not an issue.

Reflecting on the name, I can see there is an existing instapy project with quite a lot of stars. I think this being a fork from pynstagran and being named so close to instapy can create some confusion.

My suggestion is to find a name that is closer to the project is forked from, or a completely new one.

Looking forward to contribute to this.

Yes, definitely. Now I'm focusing on a possible way to improve and make this cli more configurable and extendable.

However some alternative name could be:

  • instapyload
  • instaloader
  • instaload

My suggestion is to change the name only one time. So I keep this issue open to suggestions.

Other suggestions (playing with assonance of the word):

  • instaup
  • instup
  • instauppy
  • instuppy
  • instupy

Just to name it correctly with the purpouse of the package. "insta" is for Instagram (of course..), "up" is for upload and "py" is for python, the programming language used for core of this package. But I think it could be omitted.

The bests match for this could be instaup or instup.

I agree, my favorite is instaup. And I'm super happy to see a python package that doesn't contain "py".

And for example, if we need to change the name removing the prefix "insta-" do you suggest something?

pynsta?

Sounds good, and there isn't a package on pypi named this way. But, maybe is it a little bit generic? For now this client is made only to upload a photo to instagram.

Ok, maybe some news. I search for a good, stable and maintained library for unofficial private instagram api, to focus on a better client and help various people want to play with it. So in a less time I (also we) can code the support for videos, galleries, stories for the "private" side of api, and other useful implementation. I'm searching for this library, if someone knows an instagram api library well coded in python just say it! 👍

Have you looked at Instagram-API-python?

@vitorgalvao maybe that could be a valid alternative to "reinvent-the-wheel". I'll check it out and write here when I have some news.

Maybe now, from v0.0.7 have some meaning to call this library pynsta, due to moving the Instagram session management from internal (on api/session.py file) to external library (via instagram-private-api).

This will let us to do some great stuffs from terminal, and there is a need to design a "standard" commands and options to use with instapy-cli.

Other news will come.. 🥃

We are moving!

instapy-cli is making its way in the instagram-related tools. Some days ago I talked with @ohld and we decide to join instapy-cli under the @instagrambot/instagram-cli team.

In the future we will make some cool project, based on instapy-cli and on the other libraries under the instagrambot Organization.

Stay tuned! 🎉
