7 Best Python Tools To Make Your Life Easier
Power up your Python development
There is a proverb “You don’t have to reinvent the wheel”. Tools are the best example of that. It helps you to achieve complex and time-consuming functionality in an easy way. According to me, to increase productivity and efficiency we need to use some of the best tools available. Here I have compiled 7 tools that will help you with your development journey.
1. thefuck
This is the one I am using currently. I think working with the command line makes you more productive. This is a magnificent app that corrects your previous console command. It attempts to match the previous command with a rule. If a match is found, a new command is created using the matched rule and executed. It is also one of the most starred repositories with more than 73k stars on GitHub.
2. py-spy
Understanding where our programs spend time is one of the important tasks of a developer. This library lets you visualize what your Python program is spending time on without restarting the program or modifying the code in any way. It is written in Rust for speed and doesn’t run in the same process as the profiled Python program. This means this library is safe to use against production Python code. This library has more than 9k stars on GitHub.
3. httpie
This is a command-line HTTP client. Its goal is to make CLI interaction with web services as human-friendly as possible. It is designed for testing, debugging, and generally interacting with APIs & HTTP servers. The http & https commands allow for creating and sending arbitrary HTTP requests. It has more than 24k stars on GitHub.
4. poetry
As a developer, I think you already know managing dependency can sometimes be time-consuming or complex. This helps you declare, manage and install dependencies of projects, ensuring you have the right stack everywhere. It replaces setup.py, requirements.txt, setup.cfg, MANIFEST.in and Pipfile with a simple pyproject.toml based project format. It has more than 22k stars on GitHub.
5. you-get
If you enjoyed something on the Internet, and just want to download them for your own pleasure, then this is the tool you need. This is a tiny command-line utility to download media content (videos, audio, images) from the Web, in case there is no other handy way to do it. It has more than 45.5k stars on GitHub. You can install it with this command $ pip3 install you-get
6. pyarmor
Obfuscating is one of the best ways to protect your code. This library is a command line tool used to obfuscate python scripts, bind obfuscated scripts to fixed machines or expire obfuscated scripts. The obfuscated script is a normal python script. With an extra extension module pytransform, the plain Python scripts can be replaced with obfuscated ones seamlessly. This library has more than 1.8k stars on Github.
7. black
I believe code formatting is one of the most used tools used by every developer. Because a code formatter always saves time and mental energy for more important matters. As you have guessed this library will help you with Python code formatting. It gives you speed, determinism, and freedom from pycodestyle nagging about formatting. It has more than 29k stars on GitHub.
