Request to join the team

[Eduardo M KALINOWSKI]

I'd like to join the Python team. I intend to package the
browser_cookie3 module (https://github.com/borisbabic/browser_cookie3),
ITP #1056159.

My salsa login is ekalin.

I've read and accept the Python Python policy.


Thanks,

What's the use-case for this package in Debian? It's a bit of a weird
library (digging around in the user's browser profile isn't something
expected).

Please prepare some packaging on salsa and get some review of it. I
don't really like to add members to the team when the only work I can
see of theirs is an email requesting membership...

I just want to see something that shows that you're likely to follow
through with this package maintenance.

Stefano

The general use case is mostly for scraping utilities that require a
session cookie, one logs in to the site, then this library can help
getting the cookie so that the requests including the cookie can be made.

The specific use case is that a next version of instaloader
(https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/instaloader), a Instagram scraper, will
probably require this library (the current RC version includes the
feature that uses this library).

As a matter of fact, I have already done so:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2023/12/msg00042.html . The
package is in my personal salsa area:
https://salsa.debian.org/ekalin/browser-cookie3

It could be useful for localslackirc, to get the slack cookies automatically
instead of forcing users to use the developer mode and check the requests that
are done.

Functionality not implemented because it turned out that it wasn't too easy to
access the cookies from browsers.
