3. tach

   2 14 2,307 9.9 Rust

   A Python tool to visualize + enforce dependencies, using modular architecture 🌎 Open source 🐍 Installable via pip 🔧 Able to be adopted incrementally - ⚡ Implemented with no runtime impact ♾️ Interoperable with your existing systems 🦀 Written in rust

   

   I'm very impressed by the recent developer experience improvements in the python ecosystem. Between ruff, uv, and https://github.com/gauge-sh/tach we'll be able to keep our django monolith going for a long time.

   Any opinions about the current state of the art type checker?

   The uncompromising Python code formatter

   

   > I appreciate that Black annoyed everyone on our team about the same amount but in different ways.

   If it did affect people equally, it would be great. Unfortunately, spaces for indentation is an accessibility issue and the Black maintainers are hostile to making this configurable. Normally I am in agreement about minimising configurability, but this isn’t a matter of taste, it is making the Python ecosystem more difficult for some disabled people to participate in.

   Fortunately, Ruff makes this configurable, so you don’t have to choose between autoformatting and accessibility any more.

5. setuptools

   Official project repository for the Setuptools build system

   

6. packaging

   Core utilities for Python packages

   

7. basedpyright

   6 6 1,652 9.9 TypeScript

   pyright fork with various type checking improvements, improved vscode support and pylance features built into the language server

   

   Everyone is already recommending pyright, but I'll suggest checking the "based" community fork: https://github.com/detachhead/basedpyright

   Besides re-adding features that Microsoft makes exclusive to pylance, it tweaks a number of features that IMO makes pyright work better out the box:

8. sccache

   7 74 6,158 9.0 Rust

   Sccache is a ccache-like tool. It is used as a compiler wrapper and avoids compilation when possible. Sccache has the capability to utilize caching in remote storage environments, including various cloud storage options, or alternatively, in local storage.

   

   Compile times are still a bit much, but there are ways around it:

   - The insanely long times are only for the initial build. Further builds are incremental and more tolerable.

   - Compilation errors can be checked using 'cargo check'. It avoids the code generation step that's part of a build. I find myself doing it way more often than builds. So it's a time saver depending on how frequently you use it.

   - You can extend the incremental build mentioned above using sccache [1]. At the minimum, it allows you to share the build cache between all your local projects. So it saves time if your projects or other builds share a lot of common libraries (that's very common in Rust, though). But sccache can go further by using online build caches (for example, using S3) that can be shared between hosts. Finally, sccache also supports distributed builds if you have a few machines sitting idle. (This is like distcc with extra features).
