Why noone uses nbdev for library development?

• fastai

  9 25,577 8.0 Jupyter Notebook

  The fastai deep learning library

• Flask

  The Python micro framework for building web applications.

  

Secondly, in my opinion notebook files excel at allowing prototyping. You can tinker around without resetting your environment which is fantastic, but the downside of this flexibility is that they aren't very structured. It's one massive file, which regardless of how good your coding practices are, is not enough flexibility really. As an example, have a look at the Flask source code (https://github.com/pallets/flask/tree/main/src/flask) - imagine if that was in a single file. Maintaining it would be a nightmare.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  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.

  

• cookiecutter

  56 21,538 8.6 Python

  A cross-platform command-line utility that creates projects from cookiecutters (project templates), e.g. Python package projects, C projects.

  

Personally, I have a really good set of makefiles that do all of the work (creating pdf/HTML to creating packages for PyPI and uploading). I have a few cookiecutter repos set up to simplify the boilerplate and ease new projects.
