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.

I am a Windows SyaAdmin who uses tons of PowerShell, Should I learn Python?
Our Fixed Income uses a specialized excel sheet (surprise!) as their OMS as well as for tracking tickets, performance, and other data. I use https://github.com/msitt/blpapi-python which runs queries against the data in their excel sheet and updates in real time. I also grab data from Orion (another OMS) to make sure it all matches and reflects (via their rest API).

Bloomberg Terminal running in AWS, streamed to MacBook
In my case, we use a proprietary library similar to this: https://github.com/msitt/blpapi-python. Take a look at the examples there, they can explain better than I can :)

Bloomberg Terminal API and Python?
Then here is a good repo of examples: https://github.com/msitt/blpapi-python/tree/master/examples

Github Sponsor Sebastián RamÃrez Python programmer
He is probably most well know for creating FastAPI that I taught to some of my clients and Typer that I've never used.

Things I've learned about building CLI tools in Python
I have been using Typer on every one of my CLI projects which uses Click under the hood. The documentation is fantastic, the CLI app it produces looks great and lets you create things quickly. I high recommend it.

Things to do with standalone script
Adding CLI capabilities. My preferred library here is typer.

Where to start for managing a Python code base for public distribution
I just heard about this but it seems to be pretty much the type of thing you want and want fast.

Help on Docstrings
Docstrings are for documenting how a function/ class/ method/ module works. Often you don't need to add a docstring to your main function because no one will be importing it to use elsewhere. And if you want it to run as a CLI, then there are better ways to document the available options. For example, typer does most of it for you, or in click you add the help text to the decorator.

Which best practices do you follow to build robust & extensible ETL jobs?
Most computing tasks in airflow DAGs are KubernetesPodOperator containing a CLI (Python Typer). It allows us to pass arguments easily to run DAG manually if needed (the new UI to pass arguments to DAG in airflow 2.6 is really nice). Arguments allow us to replay DAG easily (change start / end dates for instance).

Devs on teams that deploy anytime you want, what does your SDLC workflow look like?
So it's basically the main .gitlab-ci.yml file plus a separate Python CI app using Typer for the AWS instrumentation.
-
The different uses of Python type hints
Similarly for Typer, which is literally "the FastAPI of CLIs"[1]. Handy to type your `main` parameters and have CLI argument parsing. For more complicated cases, it's a wrapper around Click.
