Python

Basics

Packages

• Python Package Index (PyPi)
• pip - the package installation tool (PyPi - code - doc)
• Wheel - a built-package format for Python (PyPi - code - doc)
• Christoph Gohlke ‘s unofficial Windows wheel repository

Virtualenv

• virtualenv - creates virtual environments (PyPi - code - doc)
• virtualenvwrapper - manages projects and virtual environments (PyPi - code - doc)
• pew - Python Env Wrapper (PyPi - code)

Code quality

Static Analysis

• isort - sorts imported packages and modules (PyPi - code)
• pep8 - checks some of the style conventions in PEP 8 (PyPi - code - doc)
• pylint - checks for errors, tries to enforce a coding standard and looks for bad code smells (PyPi - code - doc)

Test frameworks

• unittest
• Coverage (PyPi - code - doc)
• Nose (PyPi - code - doc)
• Pytest (PyPi - code - doc)

Useful packages

Networking

• Paramiko - SSH2 protocol library (PyPi - code - doc)
• Requests (PyPi - code - doc)

Science

• IPython - interactive Python shell (PyPi - code - doc)
• Jupyter Notebook (formerly IPython Notebook) (PyPi - code - doc)
• Numpy - N-dimensional array manipulation (PyPi - code - doc)
• Scipy - mathematics, science, and engineering (PyPi - code - doc)

SCM

• Dulwich - native implementation of Git in Python (PyPi - code - doc)
• GitPython - Git wrapper (PyPi - code - doc)
  • note: the documentation is very scarce, delving into the code is required to understand object relationship
