  • Sonar - Write Clean Python Code. Always.
  • InfluxDB - Access the most powerful time series database as a service
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • xonsh

    :shell: Python-powered, cross-platform, Unix-gazing shell.

    I know this isn't quite what you're asking for, but IPython (https://ipython.org/) is very capable as a Python + bash (or other) shell, as it allows you to easily integrate the system shell into the interactive environment. Although they now recommend Xonsh (https://xon.sh/) for such purposes.

  • jc

    CLI tool and python library that converts the output of popular command-line tools, file-types, and common strings to JSON, YAML, or Dictionaries. This allows piping of output to tools like jq and simplifying automation scripts.

  • nushell

    A new type of shell

    I've stumbled also upon Nushell, which seems to try to emulate the value proposition of PowerShell and appears to have pretty active development, but it's still pretty new and presumably feature incomplete.

  • CBL-Mariner

    Linux OS for Azure 1P services and edge appliances

  • awesome-nu

    A curated list of awesome tools that work within the nu language ecosystem e.g. nushell, scripts, nana, etc.

  • InfluxDB

    Access the most powerful time series database as a service. Ingest, store, & analyze all types of time series data in a fully-managed, purpose-built database. Keep data forever with low-cost storage and superior data compression.
