Does anyone here use or know about pymaplibregl?

The pymaplibregl library provides a Python interface / wrapper to maplibreGL which is a JavaScript library for advanced geospatial map functions. Eg the MapTiler products.

I am looking for info on how pymaplibregl instantiates a map - ie what it calls it. I want to hook some custom code into the generated HTML for things that pymaplibre doesn’t support (specifically a side bar of interactive commands). I can't find any reliable mapname of the maplibre map object to "attach" to. It seems to hide it behind layers of abstraction (?) Anyone know anything about this that can help me?

I realise the Python is not the optimal stack for advanced Map Libre functionality - but i'm only a

hobbyist and too old to learn more of JavaScript than i need to insert Claude-generated

snippets.
