What extra programs should a Python developer know and use?

• subprocess-tee

  1 47 5.6 Python

  A subprocess.run drop-in replacement that supports a tee mode, being able to display output in real time while still capturing it. No dependencies needed

  

I'm biased because I wrote it, but subprocess-tee is the only other package I know of that comes close to getting this right.

• Task

  113 10,017 9.6 MDX

  A task runner / simpler Make alternative written in Go

  

A lot of the Python community relies on Makefile for automating some CLI scripts. Alternatives that do similar stuff include Tox, task, or just.

• 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.

  

• just

  164 17,053 9.1 Rust

  🤖 Just a command runner

A lot of the Python community relies on Makefile for automating some CLI scripts. Alternatives that do similar stuff include Tox, task, or just.

• scalene

  32 11,163 9.3 Python

  Scalene: a high-performance, high-precision CPU, GPU, and memory profiler for Python with AI-powered optimization proposals

  

Scalene is a very powerful profiler. It is especially useful in contexts where you're invoking native libraries through python bindings (or any time you're using extension modules at all) as it can distinguish between time spent in the pure python code vs. the wrapped native code.
