hashids-python: Obfuscate Numeric IDs as Short Hashes
hashids-python encodes one or more integers as short, URL-friendly strings and decodes them back. It suits Python applications that want to make exposed database IDs less obvious, but it is not a security mechanism.
shortuuid: Generate Concise, URL-Safe UUIDs
shortuuid converts UUIDs into shorter strings using an unambiguous, URL-safe alphabet. It suits Python applications that need readable, non-sequential IDs for URLs, database fields, or user-facing references.
ply: Build Python Lexers and Parsers
PLY is a zero-dependency Python library for building lexers and LALR(1) parsers using lex and yacc conventions. It suits developers implementing language tools or learning compiler construction, but its author says no further maintenance is expected.
pyparsing: Build Text Parsers in Python
pyparsing is a Python library for defining parsing-expression grammars directly in code. Use it to turn structured text into accessible parse results without writing a separate grammar file or relying only on regular expressions.
python-nameparser: Parse Human Names into Components
A Python library that splits human names into structured fields such as given name, family name, title, suffix, and nickname. It suits applications that need to organize, format, or compare names while accounting for varied naming conventions.
python-phonenumbers: Parse, Validate, and Format Phone Numbers
A Python port of Google’s libphonenumber for parsing, validating, and formatting international phone numbers. It also supports matching numbers in text and optional location, carrier, and timezone lookups.
sqlparse: Tokenize, Format, and Inspect SQL in Python
sqlparse is a non-validating Python library for splitting SQL scripts, formatting queries, and inspecting token trees. It suits tools that need to work with varied SQL without enforcing a particular dialect.
boto3: Build Python Applications with AWS Services
Boto3 is the AWS SDK for Python, letting developers write software that uses AWS services such as S3 and EC2. It fits Python applications that need programmatic access to AWS, with credentials and region configured for the environment.
django-wordpress: Read WordPress Content in Django
A Django package for reading WordPress database content through Django models and views. It suits Django applications that need to display or export existing WordPress content without making WordPress their writing interface.
facebook-sdk: Access Facebook's Graph API from Python
A Python client library for working with Facebook's Graph API. It is intended for developers building Python integrations that use Facebook data or pair server-side code with Facebook's JavaScript SDK for authentication.
google-api-python-client: Access Google Discovery APIs from Python
An officially supported Python client for Google APIs described by discovery documents. It suits existing integrations and APIs without a dedicated Cloud Client Library, but is in maintenance mode and Google recommends Cloud Client Libraries for most new development.
gspread: Work with Google Sheets from Python
gspread is a Python library for reading, updating, formatting, and managing Google Sheets through a simple API. It suits scripts and applications that need spreadsheet access, but its README says the project currently needs new maintainers.
