library
An index for your archive. 70+ CLI tools to help you build, browse, and manage your media library. (by chapmanjacobd)
I know about this project https://www.codetriage.com/?language=Python that might be of interest to you. Basically you pick what repos you want to work on and receive issue suggestions in your inbox.
https://github.com/rustedpy/result
Small Python library, slowly and steadily growing in use.
Actually yes! It could even be paid in the context of this year's Google Summer of Code:
https://github.com/borgbase/vorta
Or if you join as mentor, you will be supporting the Python Foundation.
If interested, just email the address in my HN profile.
I'm having difficulty finding the time to keep up maintenance on pyfftw: https://github.com/pyFFTW/pyFFTW
There are loads of low having improvements to the build system that can be made (not least to support 3.12). Contributions gratefully received!
I have a small python project here
https://github.com/ericoporto/agstoolbox
There are a few number of open issues but if you play with it and find something else you want to add just open an issue and ask about it.
I'd like to make a pitch for Openlibrary.org the free online library from Internet Archive that includes a fulltext search of millions of books.
I've been volunteering with them on and off for several years and it's always a lovely experience. Their backend is python and frontend mostly from python templates and some Vue for librarian stuff.
Every Tuesday they have a call on Zoom that everyone is welcome to join to share what they're working on, ask for help, and generally chat a bit. It's a great time.
Depending on what you're interested in there's a lot to do from helping build import pipelines for more book entries, writing bots to cleanup data, Performance improvements, better documenting public APIs, etc
I'm currently slowly working on a wikidata integration for their authors page. We also could use some help upgrading to Vue 3, mentors for Google summer of code would be helpful, find of ML projects needing help, moving away from old jQuery libraries, etc.
They can be quite responsive to PRs too like I blogged about here: https://blog.rayberger.org/idea-to-merged-in-less-than-30-mi...
For example, here's a small issue that could use some help on the python side: https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary/issues/8928
Sure, I write small python CLI utils that help me solve media organization, media consumption, and sometimes data analysis. I use this every day on Linux and Android but I haven't tested it on other platforms. There are a lot of different subcommands and, although the CLI package will always be opinionated to some extent, there is a lot of niche functionality which might not need to exist. So I'm open to things being refactored or new subcommands being added. [1]
I have a lot of ideas for new ones, for example, I want a CLI that can take an artist name like "Theodor Kittelsen" and fetch highest quality public domain images--but I realize any implementation that does this well will be somewhat fragile so I haven't really attempted that yet. Other ideas that I have are often solved by piping output from one of my existing commands to another.
