This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

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

    Project documentation with Markdown.

  • MkDocs is a fast, simple and downright gorgeous static site generator that’s geared towards building project documentation. Documentation source files are written in Markdown, and configured with a single YAML configuration file.

  • pycodestyle

    Simple Python style checker in one Python file

  • PEP8 (pycodestyle): Named after Python’s PEP 8 style guide, this tool checks your Python code against some of the style conventions in PEP 8.

  • 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.

  • tox

    Command line driven CI frontend and development task automation tool.

  • Tox is a powerful tool in Python development, primarily used for automating and standardised testing across multiple environments. It’s part of a larger vision of easing the packaging, testing, and release process of Python software. You should consider using tox in the following scenarios if your application needs to run across different Python versions, tox can help ensure your code works consistently across all these versions; If your project has complex dependencies, tox can manage and isolate these dependencies in different environments.

  • black

    The uncompromising Python code formatter

  • Black: Known as “The Uncompromising Code Formatter”, Black automatically formats your Python code to conform to the PEP 8 style guide. It takes away the hassle of having to manually adjust your code style.

  • pyre-check

    Performant type-checking for python.

  • Pyre is a performant type-checker developed by Facebook. Pyre can analyse codebases with millions of lines of code incrementally – providing instantaneous feedback to developers as they write code.

  • pyflakes

    A simple program which checks Python source files for errors

  • Pyflakes is a simple program that checks Python source files for errors. It is similar to PyLint but focuses only on errors, not style. This makes it faster and less intrusive than some other tools.

  • yapf

    A formatter for Python files

  • YAPF (Yet Another Python Formatter): YAPF takes a different approach in that it’s based off of ‘clang-format’, a popular formatter for C++ code. YAPF reformats Python code so that it conforms to the style guide and looks good.

  • 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.

  • autopep8

    A tool that automatically formats Python code to conform to the PEP 8 style guide.

  • AutoPEP8: This tool automatically formats Python code to conform to the PEP 8 style guide. It uses pycodestyle, a library that encapsulates the functionality of the original pep8 tool.

  • Flake8

    flake8 is a python tool that glues together pycodestyle, pyflakes, mccabe, and third-party plugins to check the style and quality of some python code.

  • Flake8. This library is a wrapper around pycodestyle (PEP8), pyflakes, and Ned Batchelder’s McCabe script. It is a great toolkit for checking your code base against coding style (PEP8), programming errors (like SyntaxError, NameError, etc) and to check cyclomatic complexity.

  • isort

    A Python utility / library to sort imports.

  • isort: This library sorts your imports alphabetically, and automatically separates them into sections and by type. It provides a cleaner and more organised way to manage project imports.

  • bandit

    Bandit is a tool designed to find common security issues in Python code.

  • 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.

  • pytype

    A static type analyzer for Python code

  • Pytype checks and infers types for your Python code - without requiring type annotations. Pytype can catch type errors in your Python code before you even run it.

  • ruff

    An extremely fast Python linter and code formatter, written in Rust.

  • Ruff is a Python linter that helps to identify and remove code smells. Over 700 built-in rules: Ruff includes native re-implementations of popular Flake8 plugins, like flake8-bugbear. And also built-in caching to avoid re-analyzing unchanged files.

  • pylama

    Code audit tool for python.

  • Pylama is a code audit tool for Python that wraps tools like Pylint, pycodestyle, PyFlakes, McCabe, and others to provide a unified interface.

  • pyright

    Static Type Checker for Python

  • Pyright is a fast type checker meant for large Python source bases. It can run in a “watch” mode and performs fast incremental updates when files are modified.

  • MonkeyType

    A Python library that generates static type annotations by collecting runtime types (by Instagram)

  • MonkeyType collects runtime types of function arguments and return values, and can automatically generate stub files or add type annotations directly to your Python code based on the types collected at runtime.

  • SaaSHub

    SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews. SaaSHub helps you find the best software and product alternatives
