GitHub user ottlukas added a comment to the discussion: How to seed community engagement?
First of all welcome to the PLC4X community. We as a community are aware since at least 2020 to your point: 1 and 2. -> here you find the dicussions on confluence: [Python Development](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/PLC4X/Python+-+Developer+Wiki) We have indeed already a pip account. The challenge like in many communities is where to focus on. As our Java implementation is the most stable and most advanvec one we have focused on that stack especially for the integration with the larger ASF Big Data and Integration projects such as Apache Kafka, Apache Nifi and Apache Camel. As this is already a huge advantage to have integrations into these ecosystems / projects. For PLC4Py we hope to find some developers willing to invest some time to implement the S7 protocol (@vemmert :-P )and indeed publish on pip instead of having to do `pip install .` [PLC4Py Getting Started](https://plc4x.apache.org/users/getting-started/plc4py.html) The longterm plans for the Java implementation to get rid of netty is a vision / dream of the community but due to lack of resources (no money, no developers having free capacity) some warning messages are existing. Again welcome highly appriciated your feedback and contribution to the disussion and I hope that this helps you and others to get some more transparency whats going on and what has been disccussed to you points.
