    FastAPI

    FastAPI

    FastAPI framework, high performance, easy to learn, fast to code

    FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.6+ based on standard Python type hints. Great editor support. Completion everywhere. Less time debugging. Designed to be easy to use and learn. Less time reading docs. Minimize code duplication. Multiple features from each parameter declaration. Fewer bugs. Get production-ready code. With automatic interactive documentation. Based on (and fully compatible with) the open standards for APIs: OpenAPI (previously known as Swagger) and JSON Schema. If you are building a CLI app to be used in the terminal instead of a web API, check out Typer. Typer is FastAPI's little sibling. And it's intended to be the FastAPI of CLIs. In summary, you declare once the types of parameters, body, etc. as function parameters. You do that with standard modern Python types. You don't have to learn a new syntax, the methods or classes of a specific library, etc.

    Mozc

    Mozc

    Mozc - a Japanese Input Method Editor designed for multi-platform

    Mozc is an open source Japanese Input Method Editor (IME) developed by Google, designed to provide Japanese text input across multiple operating systems including Android, macOS, Windows, GNU/Linux, and Chromium OS. The project originated as a subset of Google Japanese Input, released publicly under the BSD 3-Clause license for community use and development. Mozc offers core IME functionality such as text conversion, prediction, and dictionary-based input, enabling users to efficiently type and edit Japanese text. While Mozc shares much of its codebase with Google’s internal IME, it operates as an independent open source project without official support, guarantees, or stable release cycles. Developers can build Mozc from source for their preferred platform, and the repository includes detailed build instructions for Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows environments.

    AudioNotes

    AudioNotes

    Extract audio and video content and organize it into a Markdown note

    AudioNotes is an application (or proof-of-concept) that likely combines audio recording or playback with note-taking or annotation functionality — enabling users to record voice or audio and attach textual or timestamped notes, making it ideal for lectures, interviews, meetings, or personal memos. Such a tool offers a more expressive and flexible way to capture and revisit information: instead of just typed notes or raw audio, users get both audio context and structured notes. As an open-source repository, AudioNotes provides developers or power users the opportunity to customize how audio is captured, stored, annotated, and replayed — e.g. adding playback speed control, export to standard formats, or synchronization between notes and audio timeline. It may support simple UI for starting/stopping recordings, writing or editing notes, and navigating through recorded sessions.

    Jupytext

    Jupytext

    Jupyter Notebooks as Markdown Documents, Julia, Python or R scripts

    Have you always wished Jupyter notebooks were plain text documents? Wished you could edit them in your favorite IDE? And get clear and meaningful diffs when doing version control? Then, Jupytext may well be the tool you’re looking for. Only the notebook inputs (and optionally, the metadata) are included. Text notebooks are well suited for version control. You can also edit or refactor them in an IDE - the .py notebook above is a regular Python file. Text notebooks with a .py or .md extension are well suited for version control. They can be edited or authored conveniently in an IDE. You can open and run them as notebooks in Jupyter Lab with a right click. However, the notebook outputs are lost when the notebook is closed, as only the notebook inputs are saved in text notebooks.

    Extensions for Python Markdown

    PyMdown Extensions is a collection of extensions for Python Markdown. They were originally written to make writing documentation more enjoyable. They cover a wide range of solutions, and while not every extension is needed by all people, there is usually at least one useful extension for everybody. All extensions are found under the module namespace of pymdownx. Assuming we wanted to specify the use of the MagicLink extension, we would include it in Python Markdown.
