  CLI Tool for converting pydantic models into typescript definitions

Bit niche, but I like using pydantic-to-typescript (https://github.com/phillipdupuis/pydantic-to-typescript) to automatically generate typescript definitions for my fastapi apps. Or any app which uses pydantic models.

• taskipy

  the complementary task runner for python

  

I always use Taskipy https://github.com/illBeRoy/taskipy to run tasks in my applications, works really well with Poetry so when I am running my dev Flask/FastAPI server and Celery or running my tests or format my code it's all there.

• vim-jumpsuite

  8 5 0.0 Python

  Jump to "interesting" line of code from your test suite.

vim-jumpsuite: parses python tracebacks and identifies the most "interesting" part of the stack to create a jump list; despite vim being in the name, the python part of the plug-in is usable with any editors that supports parsing grep/quickfix-style output

• vimtk

  4 9 5.4 Python

  A vim toolkit focused on gvim, IPython, and the terminal.

The pyperclip library is responsible for a good portion of my productivity. It powers my vimtk vim plugin, which lets you `a` on a line or visual selection, then it copy / pastes that line into the most recently opened terminal, and then returns focus back to gvim (it does require gvim, because I don't know how to differentiate between a terminal where you are executing bash/python and a terminal you are using vim to edit with; if anyone has ideas on how to do this I'd love to know).
