RE: If you had to pick a library from another language (Rust, JS, etc.) that isn’t currently available in Python and have it instantly converted into Python for you to use, what would it be?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/Python

  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • flusso

    Rust Inspired Type-Safe Errors and Missing Values for Python.

  • Re u/Tymbl's post. I implemented Rust's Option and Result types in Python because the amount of times I write code that works straight away is embarrassing when I write Python. https://github.com/gum-tech/flusso

  • Recast/Detour

    Industry-standard navigation-mesh toolset for games

  • RecastNavigation

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • pyserde

    Yet another serialization library on top of dataclasses, inspired by serde-rs.

  • Love serde. Another option I've seen is pyserde.

  • WeasyPrint

    The awesome document factory

  • You should maybe check out weasyprint. https://weasyprint.org/

  • bdsim_realtime

    Real-time execution and remote monitoring and tuning of BDSim Block-Diagrams for modeling and control of Dynamical Systems

  • Check out https://pypi.org/project/bdsim/. I also built an addon package that includes a web interface for telemetry and live tuning: https://github.com/CallumJHays/bdsim_realtime (it is only suitable for VERY soft real-time)

  • pymonad

    PyMonad implements data structures typically available in pure functional or functional first programming languages like Haskell and F#. Included are Monad and Monoid data types with several common monads included - such as Maybe and State - as well as some useful tools such as the @curry decorator for defining curried functions. PyMonad 2.x.x represents an almost complete re-write of the library with a simpler, more consistent interface as well as type annotations to help ensure correct usage.

  • It is available in python though. They are there in pymonad - https://github.com/jasondelaat/pymonad

  • backtick

    A tiny fixed-point task scheduling app built on top of rq (by rednafi)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
