❤️ Many, many thanks for writing this up, Matt! We've been a little swamped, but this hasn't fallen off our radar.

@mattrobenolt is attempting to deploy a commit to the connectrpc Team on Vercel.

A member of the Team first needs to authorize it.

Sorry to suddenly jump into this conversation, but I have something to share that may be relevant to your PoC and this PR.
At the end of last year, I clearly realized I might need a Python server implementation for my job. To get ahead of this, I spent a few hours over the New Year holiday implementing my own version, independent of your PoC implementation or design. You can find it here: Connecpy. Currently, this implementation supports only Unary RPC of Connect Protocol, but the service handler interface's type signature is compatible with Python's gRPC framework interface, which seems to be sufficient for my current use cases.

Also, I've been using buf CLI and connect-go at work, and they've been incredibly helpful. Big thanks to all the creators and contributors for your fantastic work.

Thank you for creating the POC. The Connect over HTTP/1.1 is exactly what I was looking for. I might be checking the async implementation if other things related to Connect work well.

any progress on this?

👋 So to clarify, @mattrobenolt and @i2y if someone wants to contribute code for this effort, would it be best at this point to do so at https://github.com/mattrobenolt/connect-python or at https://github.com/i2y/connecpy and how hard would it be to merge these into one effort? Even more specifically, if I dumped any missing code from one into the other, from which repo to which repo should I go?

I mean, it would also be great if someone could just get paid to work on this at their day job, but I know how hard it is to justify to management investing work on critical behind-the-scenes support when it is indirect to more immediate results. Thanks for all the volunteer work so far! ❤️
