It has a few small issues (reported) but looks pretty good overall (and it still exists which is a huge plus...). |

Thanks! |

What's your stance on moving it to the organization? |

@Alexander255 ideally, I'd like to have ivilata/pymultihash#5 and ivilata/pymultihash#7 fixed first so users don't run into any nasty incompatibilities. After that, I see no reason not to. @diasdavid do we have a policy for onboarding libraries into our organizations? |

Hey, it's an honor to read that this is now a recommended implementation! 😄 Regarding the two issues, I currently have no time to concentrate on them (this might get better in a couple of months), but pull requests are very welcome. I'd also be happy to delegate maintenance if need be. |

The repo of the currently recommend multihash implementation doesn't even exist anymore. @ivilata's implementation of multihash on-the-other hand is quite feature-complete, comes with good documentation and was positively received by previous
py-ipfsdevelopers. The heavy-lifting is done by Python's built-inhashlibmodule that python developers are already familiar with. Hence I believe this should become the recommended implementation for python. If @ivilata isn't opposed to it, I believe it should also be moved to the organization (as https://github.com/multiformats/py-multihash).
