Although I think the sudden disappearance wasn't a smooth move, I guess the community will have to step up and maintain the library. Nothing wrong with that, it was open source to begin with.
The problem with expecting the community to step up and maintain the library is that Facebook's URL level API is a complete disaster. Badly documented, frequently changing for no apparent reason, often breaks in subtle ways for weeks on end and then they ignore you when you bring it up, what documentation they do have is often blatantly wrong, etc.
I don't think you'll get much community support behind maintaining an API which relies on their URL-based APIs unless the people involved really, really need this functionality. The mess Facebook has created with their APIs makes this a very non-fun itch to scratch for its own sake.
"""This is pretty lame, apparently it was really out of date and we're having trouble finding the resources internally to support it.
For now we're pointing people here: https://github.com/pythonforfacebook/facebook-sdk """
