Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Python Is Portable
This is a good place to mention https://nuitka.net/ which aims to compile python programs into standalone binaries.

We are under DDoS attack and we do nothing
For Python, you could make a proper deployment binary using Nuitka (in standalone mode – avoid onefile mode for this). I'm not pretending it's as easy as building a Go executable: you may have to do some manual hacking for more unusual unusual packages, and I don't think you can cross compile. I think a key element you're getting at is that Go executables have very few dependencies on OS packages, but with Python (once you've sorted the actual Python dependencies) you only need the packages used for manylinux [2], which is not too onerous.

Faster Blogging: A Developer's Dream Setup
glee is rich in blogging features but has some drawbacks. One of the main drawbacks is its compatibility with multiple operating systems and system architectures. We lost one potential customer due to glee incompatibility in macOS. Another major issue is the deployment time. We built the first version of glee entirely in Python and used nuitka, nuitka compiles Python programs into a single executable binary file. We need to create three separate stages for creating executable binaries for Windows, Mac, and Linux in deployment, and it takes around 20 minutes to complete.

Python 3.13 Gets a JIT
There is already an AOT compiler for Python: Nuitka[0]. But I don't think it's much faster.
And then there is mypyc[1] which uses mypy's static type annotations but is only slightly faster.
And various other compilers like Numba and Cython that work with specialized dialects of Python to achieve better results, but then it's not quite Python anymore.

Ask HN: How does Nuitka (Python compiler) work?
Hi HN,
Has anyone explored Nuitka [1] and developed understanding from a blank slate?
Is there any toy version of this, so that one can start playing with the language translation concepts?
Is there any underlying theory/inspiration upon which this project is built?
Are there any similar projects, in say other languages?

Why not tell people to “simply” use pyenv, poetry or anaconda
That's more of cultural problem in the Python community.
If I provide an end user software to my client written an Python (so not a backend, not a lib...), I will compile it with nuitka (https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka) and hide the stack trace (https://www.bitecode.dev/p/why-and-how-to-hide-the-python-st...) to provide a stand alone executable.
This means the users don't have to know it's made with Python or install anything, and it just works.
However, Python is not like Go or Rust, and providing such an installer requires more than work, so a huge part of the user base (which have a lot of non professional coders) don't have the skill, time or resources to do it.
And few people make the promotion of it.
I should write an article on that because really, nobody wants to setup python just to use a tool.

Is cython a safe option for obfuscate a python project?
As for a simpler option, you could use a "compiler": https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka

Extending web applications with WebAssembly and Python
> Your comment would make sense if Python code could be compiled into x86 or ARM assembly in the first place.
It can actually be compiled (or transpiled) into C code [1] with few limitations, so I can't see why not.
