What is Py++? Definition: Py++ is an object-oriented framework for creating a code generator for Boost.Python library. Py++ uses few different programming paradigms to help you to expose C++ declarations to Python. This code generator will not stand on your way. It will guide you through the whole process. It will raise warnings in the case you are doing something wrong with a link to the explanation. And the most important it will save your time - you will not have to update code generator script every time source code is changed.

PyCHM - Python bindings for CHMLIB PyCHM is a package that provides bindings for Jed Wing's CHMLIB library. The chm package contains four modules, namely chm.chm, chm.chmlib, chm.extra and chm._chmlib. chm.chmlib is a low level wrapper module around the API provided by the C library chmlib. Quoted from Jed's README: chmlib is a small library designed for accessing MS ITSS files. The ITSS file format is used for Microsoft Html Help files (.chm), which have been the predominant medium for software documentation from Microsoft during the past several years, having superceded the previously used .hlp file format. chm.chm provides some high level functionality over chm.chmlib, such as access to the .chm file contents tree. chm.extra contains extra functionality to allow detection encodings in the CHM archives and to support full-text search.

pyobfuscate is a source code obfuscator: It makes Python source code hard to read for humans, while still being executable for the Python interpreter. For more information, see the README.

PyChecker is a tool for finding bugs in python source code. It finds problems that are typically caught by a compiler for less dynamic languages, like C and C++. It is similar to lint. Because of the dynamic nature of python, some warnings may be incorrect; however, spurious warnings should be fairly infrequent.

Various Web surfing tasks that I regularly perform could be made much easier, and less tedious, if I could only use Python to fetch the HTML pages and to process them, yielding the information I really need. In this document I attempt to describe HTML processing in Python using readily available tools and libraries.
