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.

13 ways to scrape any public data from any website
Parsel is a library build to extract data from XML/HTML documents with XPath and CSS selectors support, and could be combined with regular expressions. It's usees lxml parser under the hood by default.

lazy and fast .mpd file parser - for video streaming
So, now that I no longer work in that industry, and I had some free time, I created a lazy parsing package using lxml instead of the xml parser in the standard library, which can help people who want to have a python only parsing solution.

Parsing XML file deletes whitespace. How to avoid it?
I got curious about this now so I did some tests on my own, and it appears that the XML parser implementation in Python does indeed strip all newline characters from attributes. Whether this is according to XML standard I do not know; I also briefly tried an alternative XML implementation for Python and it behaves the same, so I would assume that this is standard behavior, but I'm not knowledgable enough about XML to say for certain.

Use case for ETL over ELT?
I use lxml for the XML parsing and pyodbc as the ODBC library. We have a small team so I just keep it as simple as possible: 1. A cursor yields the XML documents from a SQL query as a stream 2. A generator function parses the XML document and yields the rows (you could parallelize this step) 3. Stream each of the resulting rows to a single CSV file 4. Scoop up the resulting CSV file into the target database (usually with the DB engine's loader; bulk insert isn't so fast over ODBC) It ends up being a straight forward, low-overhead approach.

How do i go about building a vidoe conferencing app?
Generally, I'm already using Python to glue together things like OpenCV or libxml, which do the heavy-lifting, and taking advantage of how things like Qt's QImage release Python's Global Interpreter Lock, allowing me to load and process images on a background thread, so the Python code itself is usually already I/O-bound, but yes. If the Python code would become a bottleneck, it helps with that too.

Where to start: Learning Web-scraping
lxml is an XML parser however, it also supports HTML parsing. It's blazing fast and supports XPath. I think it isn't as beginner friendly to use, though it has detailed documentation. It works less well with heavily broken HTML documents and the encoding detection isn't as good as the one of BS4.

Python is better than C they said
According to lxml benchmarking docs, Python’s built in xml parser wouldn’t behave that bad either: https://github.com/lxml/lxml/blob/master/doc/performance.txt

Enhance Your Project Quality with These Top Python Libraries
Bandit is a tool designed to find common security issues in Python code. It was developed by the OpenStack Security Project and is a great addition to any serious Python project.

Creating a DevSecOps pipeline with Jenkins — Part 1
For the SAST stage, I used SonarQube tool. SonarQube is an open-source platform developed by SonarSource for continuous inspection of code quality to perform automatic reviews with static analysis of code to detect bugs and code smells on more than 30 programming languages. I preferred SonarQube instead of other SAST tools because it has a detailed documentation and plugins about integration with Jenkins and SonarQube works with Java projects pretty well. Of course you can similar multi-language-supported tools such as Semgrep or language-specific tools such as Bandit.

A Tale of Two Kitchens - Hypermodernizing Your Python Code Base
On the other hand, Bandit is a dedicated security scanner designed to target critical security concerns such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting exploits. It meticulously scrutinizes the codebase to identify and alert developers about possible security breaches or vulnerabilities, thus fortifying the code against potential exploitation.

I think the CTX package on PyPI has been hacked!
If the risk is higher than normal, they could run a static code analysis tool like bandit, that includes checks for bad practices. While I think you should be able to code whatever/however you want to, it could lower your score if you looped through all env-variables. Maybe. Then display that indicator on pypi.
