Yes, this makes tons of sense. The more I think about it the more I come to a conclusion that it will never work well enough (more organizationally though than technically). Additionally, there can be not 1 to 1 match between API methods and python code. For example, we’ve been considering some improvements in Mistral client library so that we can make in some cases a series of calls without actually hitting the server therefore implementing a masking behavior (in some scenarios it seems to make a lot of sense). Typically I’m talking about building a complex object from small pieces. We haven’t made a decision though. We’ll be discussing it with the community.
