The community members discuss the possibility of a Python SDK for Crawlee, a web scraping library, similar to the existing Python SDK for Apify. One community member expresses interest in a Python SDK for Crawlee, as it would help them build scrapers faster and better. However, another community member states that the Python SDK has a different purpose and that Python bindings for tools like Playwright are "total garbage". The discussion then shifts to the pros and cons of using JavaScript versus TypeScript, with some community members preferring TypeScript for its type checking, while others suggest starting with JavaScript and then transitioning to TypeScript. There is no explicitly marked answer in the comments.
I can see a Python SDK for Apify has been released. Is a Python SDK also planned for Crawlee with the same functionality as Javascript/Typescript with Cheerio and Playwright?
No. The Python SDK has a total different purpose. Also, from experience I can tell you that Python bindings for Playwright for example... are total garbage.
