Interested in creating, playing and testing your own chess engine?

https://github.com/ShailChoksi/lichess-bot is a straight forward way to use any UCI engine with lichess. There are also a few libraries for move generation mine: https://github.com/Disservin/chess-library , libchess: https://github.com/kz04px/libchess , surge: https://github.com/nkarve/surge . These are C++ ones, for rust theres https://github.com/analog-hors/cozy-chess . In python you could use python-chess but its incredibly slow for engine stuff writing your own will probably be faster if you know what you are doing.
I have created a chess engine in python. How do I modify it for UCI protocol?

I would recommend downloading this bot, written in Python: https://github.com/ShailChoksi/lichess-bot

Once you have these basic UCI commands implemented, you can use this application to run your engine as BOT on lichess.

I made a 1660 lichess bot
1 project | /r/AnarchyChess | 2 Jul 2021

The bot uses the Shail Choksi's lichess-bot package (link) and stockfish. It's currently running on pythoneverywhere.com. I am very much a hobbyist and this is the first time I've done anything "useful" with coding. If you encounter any bugs, DM me and I'll do my best to fix them.
Is there a chess platform that explicitly allows computer play?

You can make a lichess bot with your engine (https://github.com/ShailChoksi/lichess-bot or similar API). The instructions are all fairly straightforward, but if you need any help feel free to reach out!
How do people go about testing chess engines against each other?

If you just want to make your engine play some games, with a uci interface you can quickly setup a bot account on lichess and challenge any available bot. https://github.com/ShailChoksi/lichess-bot
