Is PyDrive still working & maintained?

[mozboz]

Just doing some research into doing stuff with Google Drive from python, and before I dive into PyDrive just wanted to see if it's generally working / maintained? Or if there's something that's superseded it?

This repo having old files and some associated web pages with broken links are my motivation for checking in

Thanks

@mozboz from my experience this project is not very active and seems to be not maintained. We did a fork that is very active - iterative/PyDrive2 - it already has a lot of fixes, significant performance improvements, etc. The most important is that it's actively used in a popular project dvc.org which means that should stay alive for a long time.

Just discovered the problem with this PyDrive — it does not close connection that is really bad for web-server operations. PyDrive2 — has no such problem! Thank you.

Long overdue response -- short answer is no, this is no longer maintained. There was a little bit of interest from a few people to take on ownership, but none of them turned in to firm commitments. While we can't endorse or recommend PyDrive2, it's great to see others in the community pick this up and move forward with it, and that project appears to be actively maintained.
