Open Source Software in Python

Open Source Aspect-Oriented Frameworks in Python

  • Aspects.py - aspects.py library provides means to intercept function calls. Functions and methods (also in Python standard library and third party code) can be wrapped so that when they are called, the wrap is invoked first. Depending on the wrap, the execution of the original function can be omitted, or the function can be called arbitrarily many times. Wraps are able to modify the arguments and the return value of the original function. In the terminology of aspect-oriented programming, the library allows applying advices (wraps) to call join points of methods and functions in around fashion.

  • Beautiful Soup - Beautiful Soup is a Python HTML/XML parser designed for quick turnaround projects like screen-scraping. Features: * Beautiful Soup won't choke if you give it bad markup. It yields a parse tree that makes approximately as much sense as your original document. This is usually good enough to collect the data you need and run away. * Beautiful Soup provides a few simple methods and Pythonic idioms for navigating, searching, and modifying a parse tree: a toolkit for dissecting a document and extracting what you need. You don't have to create a custom parser for each application. * Beautiful Soup automatically converts incoming documents to Unicode and outgoing documents to UTF-8. .

Open Source Parser Generators in Python

  • SimpleParse - SimpleParse is a Python package providing a simple and fast parser generator using a modified version of the mxTextTools text-tagging engine. SimpleParse allows you to generate parsers directly from your EBNF grammar. Unlike most parser generators, SimpleParse generates single-pass parsers (there is no distinct tokenization stage), an approach taken from the predecessor project (mcf.pars) which attempted to create \"autonomously parsing regex objects\". The resulting parsers are not as generalized as those created by, for instance, the Earley algorithm, but they do tend to be useful for the parsing of computer file formats and the like (as distinct from natural language and similar \"hard\" parsing problems).

Open Source PDF Libraries in Python

  • ReportLab Toolkit - The ReportLab Toolkit is an open source PDF library that implements a flexible layout engine named Platypus that builds documents from components like headlines, paragraphs, fonts, tables, bitmap images, vector graphics, etc. These flowable elements are placed in a document \"story\" following a set of templates for frames, pages and the entire document itself. In addition to the standard 14 PostScript fonts there is full support for custom embedded Type-1 as well as for Asian fonts.

Open Source Persistence Frameworks in Python

  • SQLObject - SQLObject is a popular Object Relational Manager for providing an object interface to your database, with tables as classes, rows as instances, and columns as attributes. SQLObject includes a Python-object-based query language that makes SQL more abstract, and provides substantial database independence for applications.

Open Source Project Management Tools in Python

  • Task Coach - Task Coach is a simple open source todo manager to manage personal tasks and todo lists. Task Coach currently (0.65.0) has the following features: * Creating, editing, and deleting tasks and subtasks. * Tasks have a subject, description, priority, start date, due date, a completion date and an optional reminder. * Tasks can be viewed as a list or as a tree. * Tasks can be sorted by all task attributes, e.g. subject, budget, budget left, due date, etc. * Several filters to e.g. hide completed tasks or view only tasks that are due today. * Tasks can be created by dragging an e-mail message from Outlook or Thunderbird onto a task viewer. * Attachments can be added to task by dragging and dropping files, e-mail messages from Outlook or Thunderbird, or URL's onto a task. * Task status depends on its subtask and vice versa. E.g. if you mark the last uncompleted subtask as completed, the parent task is automatically marked as completed too. * Tasks and notes can be assigned to user-defined categories. * Settings are persistent and saved automatically. The last opened file is loaded automatically when starting Task Coach. * Tracking time spent on tasks. Tasks can have a budget. Time spent can be viewed by individual effort period, by day, by week, and by month. * The Task Coach file format (.tsk) is XML. * Tasks, notes, effort, and categories can be exported to HTML and CSV (Comma separated format). Effort can be exported to iCalendar/ICS format as well. * Tasks, effort, notes, and categories can be printed. When printing, Task Coach prints the information that is visible in the current view, including any filters and sort order. * Task Coach can be run from a removable medium.

Open Source Web Frameworks in Python

  • Zope - Zope is an open source web application server primarily written in the Python programming language. It features a transactional object database which can store not only content and custom data, but also dynamic HTML templates, scripts, a search engine, and relational database (RDBMS) connections and code. It features a strong through-the-web development model, allowing you to update your web site from anywhere in the world. To allow for this, Zope also features a tightly integrated security model. Built around the concept of \"safe delegation of control\", Zope's security architecture also allows you to turn control over parts of a web site to other organizations or individuals. The transactional model applies not only to Zope's object database, but to many relational database connectors as well, allowing for strong data integrity. This transaction model happens automatically, ensuring that all data is successfully stored in connected data sources by the time a response is returned to a web browser or other client.

Open Source Web Servers in Python

  • Snakelets - Snakelets is a very simple-to-use Python web application server. It provides a threaded web server (you don't have to provide a web server such as Apache yourself), Ypages (Python HTML template language, similar to Java's JSPs) and Snakelets: code-centric page request handlers (similar to Java's Servlets). Snakelet's focus is to make the creation of dynamic web sites as quick and easy as possible. To get started it is enough to extract Snakelets somewhere, add a single directory that will contain your files, copy-paste-edit a small configuration file that describes your site, and you're set to add your own pages and images and other content.
