SCons is a software construction tool that is a superior alternative to the classic "Make" build tool that we all know and love. SCons is implemented as a Python script and set of modules, and SCons "configuration files" are actually executed as Python scripts. This gives SCons many powerful capabilities not found in other software build tools. We make SCons available in three distinct packages, for different purposes. - The scons package is the basic package to install SCons. You don't need any other package if you just want to try out SCons. - The scons-local package executes as a SCons standalone, out of a local directory. It's intended to be dropped in to and shipped with packages of other software for builds with SCons but not as a required install. - The scons-src package is the complete source tree, including everything we use to package SCons and all of the regression tests.

PDF Arranger is a small python-gtk application, which helps the user to merge or split PDF documents and rotate, crop and rearrange their pages using an interactive and intuitive graphical interface.

Flask is a lightweight WSGI web application framework designed to help developers get started with their web applications quickly and easily with the ability to scale up to complex applications. Being a “micro” framework does not mean that your whole web application must fit into a single Python file (although it can) or that it be limited; rather it means that Flask aims to keep the core simple but extensible. Flask offers suggestions, but it won’t make any decisions for you such as what database to use or what dependencies or project layout to choose. You get to choose the tools and libraries you want to use, so Flask can be everything you need and nothing you don’t. Flask has become one of the most popular Python web application frameworks, and has amassed a great number of extensions provided by the community that make adding new functionality easy.

Thonny is a Python IDE meant for learning programming.

PyInstaller freezes (packages) Python applications into stand-alone executables, under Windows, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris and AIX. PyInstaller’s main advantages over similar tools are that PyInstaller works with Python 3.5 to 3.9, it builds smaller executables thanks to transparent compression, it is fully multi-platform, and use the OS support to load the dynamic libraries, thus ensuring full compatibility. The main goal of PyInstaller is to be compatible with 3rd-party packages out-of-the-box. This means that, with PyInstaller, all the required tricks to make external packages work are already integrated within PyInstaller itself so that there is no user intervention required. You’ll never be required to look for tricks in wikis and apply custom modification to your files or your setup scripts. As an example, libraries like PyQt, Django or matplotlib are fully supported, without having to handle plugins or external data files manually.

PyDev is a Python Development Environment (Python IDE plugin for Eclipse).

Real-ESRGAN is a highly popular open-source project that provides practical algorithms for general image and video restoration using deep learning-based super-resolution techniques. It extends the original Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Network (ESRGAN) approach by training on synthetic degradations to make results more robust on real-world images, effectively enhancing resolution, reducing noise/artifacts, and reconstructing fine detail in low-quality imagery. The repository includes inference and training scripts, a model zoo with different pretrained models (including general and anime-oriented variants), and support for batch and arbitrary scaling, making it adaptable for diverse enhancement tasks. It emphasizes usability with utilities that handle alpha channels, gray/16-bit images, and tiled inference for large inputs, and can be run via Python scripts or portable executables.

Matplotlib is a python library for making publication quality plots using a syntax familiar to MATLAB users. Matplotlib uses numpy for numerics.

Hacker Scripts is a cheeky collection of small automation scripts and language ports collected under the tagline “Based on a true story.” The repository gathers playful utilities (originally shell and Ruby scripts) that automate short, real-world tasks — for example, sending a quick “late at work” text when SSH sessions are active, firing off an automated “I’m sick / working from home” email on certain mornings, or even talking to a networked coffee machine to start brewing at precisely the right moment. The README explains the origin story and highlights several canonical scripts and provides usage notes such as required environment variables and cron examples for scheduling. Contributors have provided implementations and ports in many languages and folders (shell, Ruby, Python, Node, Perl, PowerShell, Go, Java, etc.), and the project explicitly welcomes pull requests that add additional language implementations.
