I know python and go best, but I’m supporting some Java infra too.

We’re changing the Java repository, so I need to change how some Java apps get installed (where jar files are sourced from). I need to query a Maven repo for available versions of selected artifacts. Ideally, I’d like to run the queries from python because that is what StackStorm is written in, so it’s much easier to integrate into my app deployment workflow.

Does anyone have preferred libraries or tools for querying a maven repo like that?

(I’m asking here for suggestions because this is one of the few communities I’m a member of that has people who do things with Java).

Maybe just invoke Coursier from the Python script?

It isn't an "elegant" solution with pure Python code but if this script is part of a deployment workflow than the invoking `cs` under the hood to interact with Maven repositories should be just fine.

I’ll take a look at coursier then. thanks
