What is the best current Python Nostr client library?
https://github.com/holgern/pynostr
https://github.com/jeffthibault/python-nostr
Both had last commit two years ago, which is paleolithic in Nostr terms.
Nostr-SDK seems more recent, but it is bindings to Rust. And I hate Rust, which is computational marxism. But I might swallow it if I don't ever need to touch Rust code.
https://pypi.org/project/nostr-sdk/
Suggestions and tips? Am I missing something?
