Fabric-rfcs describes the Fabric Gateway Feature and we can build based on the source code
It will be officially supported in HLF v2.4.

Support for gateway would be much appreciated :)

[dexhunter]

@jeriox yes, I am wondering to write a project proposal for adding python support for fabric-gateway, are you interested in co-supervising/mentoring the project?

[jeriox]

@dexhunter unfortunately not, I just need it for my thesis and don't have the capacity to help out here

@jeriox No problem. I think I will first update python sdk to support fabric 2.4 and then check with others to see if we can add python support for fabric-proto. By the way, just wondering what's your use case for the python sdk?

were you able to make any progress so far?

I have a lot of existing code dealing with the data that I store in hyperledger fabric that is only available in python. I wanted to save myself the effort of migrating the code to another language or passing the processed data around before actually storing it
