If you're interested in writing Freebase applications using
Python, we now have two separate open-source Python libraries
you can use.
Both are available on "GoogleCode" at the following
URL:
http://code.google.com/p/freebase-python/
The two libraries there at the moment are:
metaweb-py: This is a single-file interface based
on the "metaweb.py" originally developed by David
Flanagan and reproduced in our online documentation.
The version on GoogleCode has some updates and
improvements over the original.
freebase-api: This is a more ambitious and complete
implementation originally developed by Nick Thompson
for a number of projects we've been working on in-house.
We intend to remove the metaweb.py code from Freebase.com
and replace it with links to this GoogleCode repository
so that people will have immediate access to the most
up-to-date versions of these support libraries.
If you have changes or suggestions for this code, please
let us know.
We're also interested in support libraries for use with
other languages and development platforms. If you have
(or know about) such libraries, we're eager to make sure
our documentation has up-to-date references to them.
