Python bindings for GLib, GObject, and GIO.

Unittest2 is a replacement for the unittest module in the Python standard library.

bx-python provides tools for manipulating biological data, particularly multiple sequence alignments.

The dateutil module provides powerful extensions to the standard datetime module, available in Python 2.3+.

This package is mostly for people who want to have argparse on older Pythons because it was not part of the standard library back then.

Pycparser is a complete parser of the C language, written in pure Python using the PLY parsing library. It parses C code into an AST and can serve as a front-end for C compilers or analysis tools.

The pyparsing module is an alternative approach to creating and executing simple grammars, vs. the traditional lex/yacc approach, or the use of regular expressions. The pyparsing module provides a library of classes that client code uses to construct the grammar directly in Python code.

Soup Sieve is a CSS selector library designed to be used with Beautiful Soup 4. It aims to provide selecting, matching, and filtering using modern CSS selectors. Soup Sieve currently provides selectors from the CSS level 1 specifications up through the latest CSS level 4 drafts and beyond (though some are not yet implemented).

Parallel Python module (PP) provides an easy and efficient way to create parallel-enabled applications for SMP computers and clusters. PP module features cross-platform portability and dynamic load balancing. Thus applications written with PP will parallelize efficiently even on heterogeneous and multi-platform clusters (including clusters running other applications with variable CPU loads).

Numarray and Numeric were the predecessors of NumPy. Numarray was created as an alternative to Numeric because the latter was cumbersome to use when efficiency for large array operations was a priority. Howver, numarray was less efficient for small arrays, and thus could not replace Numeric. Many packages of the early SciPy ecosystem supported both Numeric and numarray, with the choice made at build time.

Batch-oriented version of WebQTL. It requires, as input, expression data from members of a set of recombinant inbred lines and genotype information for the same lines. It searches for an association between each expression trait and all genotypes and evaluates that association by a permutation test. For the permutation test, it performs only as many permutations as are necessary to define the empirical P-value to a reasonable precision. It also performs bootstrap resampling to estimate the confidence region for the location of a putative QTL.

XlsxWriter is a Python module that can be used to write text, numbers, formulas and hyperlinks to multiple worksheets in an Excel 2007+ XLSX file.

Pytest-cov produces coverage reports. It supports centralised testing and distributed testing in both load and each modes. It also supports coverage of subprocesses.

Setuptools is a fully-featured, stable library designed to facilitate packaging Python projects, where packaging includes:

• Python package and module definitions

• distribution package metadata

• test hooks

• project installation

• platform-specific details.

PyXLWriter is a Python library for generating Excel compatible spreadsheets. It's a port of John McNamara's Perl Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module version 1.01 to Python. It allows writing of Excel compatible spreadsheets without the need for COM objects.

Matplotlib is a Python 2D plotting library which produces publication quality figures in a variety of hardcopy formats and interactive environments across platforms. Matplotlib can be used in Python scripts, the python and ipython shell, web application servers, and six graphical user interface toolkits.

Hypothesis is a library for testing your Python code against a much larger range of examples than you would ever want to write by hand. It’s based on the Haskell library, Quickcheck, and is designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing Python unit testing work flow.

Kiwi is an efficient C++ implementation of the Cassowary constraint solving algorithm. Kiwi has been designed from the ground up to be lightweight and fast. Kiwi ranges from 10x to 500x faster than the original Cassowary solver with typical use cases gaining a 40x improvement. Memory savings are consistently > 5x.

ScientificPython is a collection of Python modules that are useful for scientific computing. Most modules are rather general (Geometry, physical units, automatic derivatives, ...) whereas others are more domain-specific (e.g. netCDF and PDB support). The library is currently not actively maintained and works only with Python 2 and NumPy < 1.9.
