Announcement: Resuming Maintenance and Upgrading Py-Googletrans Planned (v4.0)

[ssut]

First of all, I apologize for not maintaining this project for quite a while. My life and work have been so busy, and I just didn't have the enough time to maintain this project properly. Yes, some people may know I was working on other (OSS) projects, but that doesn't mean I abandoned this project. I just thought py-googletrans no longer needed frequent updates because, you guys know, there is already a mature and official Google Translate API.

Yes, here's the good news for you guys: I'm back and ready to re-dive into this project. Here's what I'm planning for now: (1) fixing stuffs (2) modernizing the entire code (yeah, the Python ecosystem has changed and grew a lot).

Thanks so much to everyone who reported issues and using this project even during such downtime. I really appreciate it.

I plan to resolve all the things up to 3 months as I have some planned time off (holiday) things. However there might be some unexpected schedule changes, but I'll do my best to release even an alpha/beta version ASAP.

Thanks so much again to everyone who waited for this project to be re-maintained and taken further.

If you guys have experienced any issues, please report them on this issue.

Thank you for resuming the work.

Wondering if the httpx version could be loosen, so other packages which uses newer version of httpx could be resolved by pip?

For example, I'm trying to upgrade the https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio while using googletrans, it requires the httpx>=0.24.1 which pip couldn't resolve it as googletrans require the httpx==0.13.3.

Yes, I’m planning to loosen the version constraint of httpx in a future update. While I’m currently rewriting the entire things, the version constraint will be addressed as well.

Hi, is there any update on the matter of httpx? I'm also facing the version constraint

I've done some of the work to have3 a more open httpx version if you want to rather just merge in some changes than do a lot of work yourself. https://github.com/c-goosen/py-googletrans
Could do a PR

I’ve opened a new pull request to get ready for the v4.0.0 (next major) release. It fixes most reported issues, modernizes the code, switches to async-only APIs, and adds complete typing. If anyone's planning to send a PR, please set the target branch to this. Thanks a lot for waiting!

Awesome! Thank you for your work!
