How to use safe_client_libs in python?

I can understand the desire to wrap everything around the app concept, but I find the way this a pretty unempowering interface. For now it’s fine, I’ll just write my code in rust so I can still do things at the very lowest level, but I think maybe in the future cleanly exposing the lowest level network interfaces will be useful (despite the security implications for end-users).

Nothing prevents you from doing that now, actually. You can create your own minimal headless Authenticator on top of the safe_authenticator lib: the SAFE Browser and its Authenticator plugin aren’t magical, they’re too just apps that use the SAFE Client Libs underneath. And the Authenticator API is exposed and documented too, so you might want to experiment with it and build a terminal/non-GUI Authenticator that approves every request that it gets

So what I want to say is that it’s more a question of security/user interface rather than the technical ability. But yes, for now we don’t provide a native headless mode in the SAFE Browser, as @joshuef answered here.
