All - My little outfit has been a user of the WPS/Python-scripting plugin for a long time, but we're currently maintaining some modified/recompiled library-files alongside a (hackish) fork of Geoserver (described in https://sourceforge.net/p/geoserver/mailman/message/35410958/) to allow compatibility with the POST method to allow for large requests and to provide improved security. Although I pull Geoserver updates across from the official repo from time to time, this is messy, and I have not sunk the hours into figuring out how to return status-codes other than 200 OK or 500 Internal Server Error, as it seems that anything /other/ than a 200 coming out of Flask is rewritten to a 500 by the Java code it runs inside of. Basically, what I have works okay but there are a lot of potential maintenance-gotchas.
Since first setting up the scripting plugin and joining Geoserver listservs a few years back, I've seen semi-frequent questions appear about the Python/WPS plugin and whether there's a maintainer to answer questions, etc. When I checked last, there was no designated maintainer, the web-UI component (which I didn't even know about until someone mentioned there used to be one that worked) was broken, and contrib/community-files and docs were out of date. Would it be within GSIP-scope to propose some related fixes and pay to make support available for the plugin? - Patrick O'Toole Full-Stack Developer Wyoming Natural Diversity Database UW Berry Biodiversity Conservation Center Department 3381, 1000 E.
