Tinker and play around with source code, that’s the programmer’s way of life.

So much has been done by Python developers around the world, promoting it in the Open Source World

Let’s get down to some worthy Python OpenSource projects that may have slipped your radar.

1. Pipenv

Pipenv is a packaging and environment tool that python programmers use to create virtual environments for projects while also updating package dependencies. Combining Pipfile, virtualenv, and pip, Pipenv gives you an advanced workflow with easy to understand commands.

2. MicroPython

For those working with microcontrollers or environments that are constrained MicroPython offers a leeway. With its efficiently implemented and lean Python3 programming language you will be able to transfer your code easily between desktop and microcontroller systems.

3. Python-fire

The open-source Python project that is Python-fire will generate CLIs for you by just simply calling the Fire function on any Python code or program. The whole process is done automatically and there will be no need to either define arguments or define the running of your code through a written main function.

4. Sanic

Sanic is a Python 3.6+ based web server. Sanic has been written to be fast and supports request handlers that are async. The result is that as you use the new async/await syntax your code becomes non-blocking and fast.

5. Grumpy

When the need for translation of python code into Go programs arose, the best solution came in the form of Grumpy. Grumpy is in an experimental stage and its builders aim at it being the drop-in alternative runtime for any of the pure-Python projects out there.

6. Pythorch

This machine learning library comes in handy when programming needs such as tensor computation and deep neural networking arise. Pytorch is based on the scientific computing framework and scripting language torch.

7. Home Assistant

Home Assistant is an open-source Python-based platform that enables you to control and track all the devices and gadgets you have at home.

8. Whatwaf

An advanced tool that detects firewalls, Whatwaf will not only help you detect a web application firewall but also find possible bypass options to the specified target.

9. Chatistics

Chatistics is an interesting project that will transform your chats from messenger platforms like Telegram, Hangouts, and Facebook into DataFrames.

Chatistics uses Python3 scripts and will as well generate word clouds and ggplot histograms from the chat logs that you present.

10. Pyray

This is a rendering library project that was written in python by Rohit Pandey to help solve issues related to dependency and complex APIs.

11. TensorFlow

TensorFlow is an open-source software library for numerical computation using data flow graphs. Nodes in the graph represent mathematical operations, while the graph edges represent the multidimensional data arrays (tensors) that flow between them.

Google built the underlying TensorFlow software with the C++ programming language. But in developing applications for this AI engine, coders can use either C++ or Python, the most popular language among deep learning researchers.

12. Shogun

The Shogun Machine learning toolbox provides a wide range of unified and efficient Machine Learning (ML) methods. shogun seamlessly allows you to easily combine multiple data representations, algorithm classes, and general-purpose tools. This enables both the rapid prototyping of data pipelines and extensibility in terms of new algorithms.

13. Caffe

Caffe is a deep learning framework made with expression, speed, and modularity in mind. Caffe encourages application and innovation. Models and optimization are defined by configuration without hard-coding. Switch between CPU and GPU by setting a single flag to train on a GPU machine then deploy to commodity clusters or mobile devices.

14.Theano

Theano is a Python library that allows you to define, optimize, and evaluate mathematical expressions involving multi-dimensional arrays efficiently.

Python OpenSource Projects

Theano provides tight integration with NumPy, transparent use of a GPU  efficient symbolic differentiation, speed and stability optimizations, dynamic C code generation, extensive unit-testing, and self-verification.

Conclusion

Open source projects will continue to be important and ever useful to programmers. One of them could even spark your creative programming juices.

moreover, if you ever work on one, please share it with us on the comment section, we would love to know about it and I am sure other Python developers would like to contribute when they see it.

Open Source is amazing, Create open-source projects, contribute to others, and join communities around Python and open-source. It would definitely help grow your portfolio.
