 Scan the category index, then jump to the matching section for direct project links and short descriptions. Entries end with `PyPI downloads/month: N` (last 30 days, mirrors and CI included) and `GitHub stars: N` notes in parentheses where known; treat both as popularity context, not a quality guarantee. Use the homepage for project context outside the shortlist.
