What was wrong?
The py-libp2p library lacked a Rendezvous protocol implementation for peer discovery. This missing functionality created a gap between py-libp2p and other libp2p implementations (Go, Rust) that already support rendezvous-based peer discovery through namespaces.
How was it fixed?
1. Core Module Implementation
libp2p/discovery/rendezvous/
directory with complete protocol implementation:service.py
: Rendezvous service handling peer registrations and discoveryclient.py
: Low-level protocol clientdiscovery.py
: High-level discovery interface with caching and auto-refreshconfig.py
: Configuration constants and defaultserrors.py
: Protocol-specific exception classesmessages.py
: Protocol buffer message utilities2. Key Features
3. Protocol Compliance
4. Examples and Integration
