We search pico libraries that help us doing an efficient job with lighter code.

Python libs

Holy Grails and Silver Bullets 🙌

Revelations we had 👼 (Until we meet the killing unresolvable blocking bug 😈):

• Python HTTP Requests for Humans™: Requests

In sight 👀

• Python logging made (stupidly) simple: Loguru
• Light-weight utilities to augment, not replace the Python MongoDB driver: mongo
• A drop-in replacement for native Python datetimes that embraces UTC: Zulu
• A package manager for including other people's code in your projects: Peru

Using yet unsatisfying 🤧

We are still using these, though we are very open to replace them:

• A Python Object-Document-Mapper for working with MongoDB: MongoEngine

Rejected 👃

These libs did not meet our requirements in our context, for various reasons:

• A Pythonic, object-oriented interface for working with MongoDB: Pymodm

Good to know 🧐

• Python is flawless

CLI tools 🍦

• Command line HTTP client with an intuitive UI: HTTPie
• Lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor: jq

Online tools 🖥

• Open collaboration on text with Markdown: Hackmd
• Secure, fully featured, and completely free video conferencing: Jit.si
• Build SVG online: Vectr
