# Datpy, the punk-to-punk protocol in Python

We're quite excited by the new wave of community-developed peer-to-peer
technology. [Scuttlebutt], [Cabal], [Mapeo] and [Beaker browser] are inspiring
examples of software which show that technology can be built to operate without
running on centralised commercially owned infrastructure (e.g. WhatsApp).
running on centralised commercially-owned infrastructure (e.g. WhatsApp).
One of the underlying innovations for technologies such as [Cabal] is the [Dat
protocol], which is a way of describing how two computers can send information
to each other directly. The protocol is supported by the [Dat Foundation] and
developed as a community based standard.

Today, the reference implementation for the Dat protocol is written in
Javascript. The Javascript ecosystem has proved to be remarkably flexible for
advancing this next generation of tools. Simple methods of publishing (npm

Alongside these efforts, a member of Autonomic has begun to work on [Datpy], a

Python-based implementation of the Dat protocol. The project proposes a roadmap

slowly, things are moving along. Further progress updates will be posted on
this blog as they come in.
