This is the home of Pygments. It is a generic syntax highlighter for general use in all kinds of software such as forum systems, wikis or other applications that need to prettify source code. Highlights are:

Python in Maya Done RightPymel makes python scripting with Maya work the way it should. Maya's command module is a direct translation of mel commands into python commands. The result is a very awkward and unpythonic syntax which does not take advantage of python's strengths -- particulary, a flexible, object-oriented design. Pymel builds on the cmds module by organizing many of its commands into a class hierarchy, and by customizing them to operate in a more succinct and intuitive way. Powerful new classes

I love python for its beautiful code and practicality. But it’s not going to win a pure speed race with most languages. Most people think of speed and ease-of-use as polar opposites - probably because they remember the pain of writing C. Cython tries to eliminate that duality and lets you have python syntax with C data types and functions - the best of both worlds. Keeping in mind that I’m by no means an expert at this, here are my notes based on my first real experiment with Cython:

Easily create Google charts using python syntax and datasets. Python wrapper for the Google Chart API. The wrapper can render the URL of the Google chart, based on your parameters, or it can render an HTML img tag to insert into webpages on the fly. Made for dynamic python websites (Django,Zope,CGI,etc.) that need on the fly chart generation without any extra modules. The wrapper SHOULD also work with Eastwood the Google Chart API workalike. G = GChart('p3', [5,10])
