Facebook Python-SDK VS. PyFacebook?

Question

I'm starting to develop a facebook application using Django.

I'm trying to choose the appropriate API wrapper for my application and I can't decide whether to use PyFacebook (very well documented but no official release) or the official Facebook Python SDK (which is surprisingly poorly documented).

Are there any major differences between the two that I'm missing?

Thank you, Liz

Answer 1

I believe PyFacebook was made for the old Facebook API (used to be the way to go) while the Facebook Platform Python SDK is a new official library from facebook and is aimed towards the new Graph API

So I suggest you start using the latter. And yeah the documentation totally sucks in both cases, took me a while to figure it out.

UPDATE:

For you latecomers: The most recent up-to-date seems to be: https://github.com/pythonforfacebook/facebook-sdk/
