Py-libp2p Slides

1. Introduction & Overview (High Priority)

• What is py-libp2p?

  • Purpose in the libp2p ecosystem
  • Key use cases (P2P networking, WebRTC, transport layers)

• Ecosystem context

  • Relationship to go-libp2p, js-libp2p, and rust-libp2p

• Project status

  • Current features, ongoing work, known gaps

---

2. Installation & Setup (High Priority)

• Installing from PyPI (latest stable)
• Installing from source (development mode)
• Python version & OS support
• Common pitfalls during setup

---

3. Core Concepts (High Priority)

• Peer IDs
• Multiaddrs
• Transports (TCP, WebRTC, WebSocket, QUIC — with status notes)
• Stream multiplexers (mplex, yamux)
• Connection security (Noise, TLS — with current support status)
• Circuit relay (what it is, when to use it, current state in py-libp2p)

---

4. Getting Started Guide (High Priority)

• Minimal example: two peers connecting and sending a message
• Example with browser-to-python peer connection (WebRTC direct)
• Example with circuit relay

---

5. Detailed API Reference (Medium Priority)

• Link to auto-generated API docs (Sphinx or mkdocs integration)

• Short description + usage patterns for:

  • libp2p.new_node()
  • Transport classes
  • Stream handling
  • Peerstore
  • PubSub

---

6. Tutorials (Medium Priority)

• Building a chat app
• File transfer between peers
• Deploying a public relay node

---

7. Testing & Interop (Medium Priority)

• Running unit tests locally
• Interop with go-libp2p/js-libp2p
• WSS & WebRTC testing

---

8. Contributing Guide (High Priority)

• Fork & branch workflow
• PR guidelines (tests, linting, commit messages)
• Running the test suite before PR
• Code style standards

---

9. Architecture & Design Notes (Low Priority but Useful)

• Overview of modular architecture
• Transport interface design
• How upgrades and protocol negotiation work

---
