A [ckan-api-client] (https://github.com/opendatatrentino/ckan-api-client): an improved client for the Ckan API, providing a a low-level client, a high-level client, a synchronization client and it attempts to get work around some common issues with that API
ckanclient: CKAN Python Client - deprecated in favour of ckanapi. Supports CKAN's legacy RESTful Model and Search APIs (v1 & v2), the legacy elasticsearch DataStore API, basic support for the v3 Action API, and code for uploading files to CKAN using the FileStore API.
