Typed Python clients
Currently we're trying to experiment with replacing our NATS service with Convex's realtime mechanism. So the Python service, would subscribe to changes in Convex, simplifying our stack significantly.
We've set up Convex in the Python client and it is working fine, the subscriptions too. The only thing is that we don't have any types for the subscribed values. Currently for example in the following code example, the tasks varible just has a type of "ConvexValue" instead of "Task" or something like that:
for tasks in convexClient.subscribe("queries/tasks:get"):
print(tasks)
The reason we have typings in the NATS setup is because we're using a yml spec file for that in combination with asyncapi-codegen.
Is there some way to generate typed Python types/clients for Convex? Or would I have to write my own parser/generator?

Thank you!
I just found this by @λx.1 - https://github.com/ParsonosAI/convex-schema-parser
Going to try that out

Hi, sorry. I am not that often online here. Did you try to do
cabal install convex-schema-parser after cloning and entering the repo?
This package is not hosted on Hackage but I could do that, which would remove the requirement of cloning.
I am currently waiting to be approved for package uploads to Hackage. (:
In the meantime, you would have to clone the repo yourself, cd into it and then issue a cabal install convex-schema-parser
The README also gives an outline on how to run the executable without installing via cabal run convex-schema-parser -- {dev,generate}. Hope this helps, if you guys still are searching for something.
