So... we're gonna write code in python ...that interfaces with a CLI ...that's a wrapper around a Java library ...that communicates with Signal's API?

Would it not be better to write code in python that communicates directly with Signal's API?

Only the official builds of the official signal clients are allowed to connect to the signal servers, everything else is considered unauthorized use (under the CFAA) by moxie, Signal’s lead dev.

At least that’s what he said on the bugtracker of the fork "LibreSignal" while forcing them to shut their fork down.


Forcing?
