Neat!

My first thought is that the best way to evaluate and improve such a
library is to write an actual application using it.

You're right that the weather rewrite people might find it useful and
give you some good feedback.  And even though that rewrite project has
become quieter, there are still people working on it.  But I'm not sure
if you'll get the feedback you're hoping for right now.  Maybe in a
couple of weeks?

Another fine application to evaluate your library could be the "new
little tool that fetches Onionoo documents once (or twice) per day for
all relays participating in the relay challenge and that produces graph
data."

Would you be interested in writing such a tool, maybe using OnionPy?
(If so, please also say so on tor-relays@ where that thread started.)

All the best,
Karsten
