Vinta ChenandClaude bb53dfea9d docs: require live verification of keep/drop reasons
Qualitative keep/drop reasoning previously relied on training-data
recollections that went unverified while only download numbers were
checked live, as happened in the Data & Science preview. Key Rules now
require every keep/drop reason to be verified against current online
data at decision time.

Repository Overview

An opinionated list of Python frameworks, libraries, tools, and resources. Published at awesome-python.com.

Entry Guidelines

Refer to CONTRIBUTING.md for admission rules, quality requirements, rejection rules, and entry format. Apply these rules whenever adding or removing an entry, whether reviewing a PR or committing directly.

Structure

  • README.md: Source of truth. Hierarchical categories; entries ordered per the Key Rules below.
  • CONTRIBUTING.md: Submission guidelines and review criteria.
  • SPONSORSHIP.md: Sponsor tiers, placement rules, and the editorial-independence policy. Sponsor content sits in the README header and must never influence which projects get listed.
  • website/: Static site generator that builds awesome-python.com from README.md.
    • build.py: Parses README.md and renders HTML via Jinja2 templates.
    • fetch_github_stars.py: Fetches star counts into website/data/.
    • readme_parser.py: Markdown-to-structured-data parser.
    • templates/, static/: Jinja2 templates and CSS/JS assets.
    • tests/: Pytest tests for the build pipeline.
  • Makefile: make install, make build, make preview, make test, make fetch_github_stars.
  • pyproject.toml: Uses uv for dependency management. Python >=3.13.

Key Rules

  • Ordering within a use case: obvious choices first (alphabetically), then challengers (alphabetically). See CONTRIBUTING.md.
  • A shortlist, not a catalog: per use case, up to 3 obvious choices plus up to 2 challengers, hard maximum 5.
  • One project per PR.
  • One entry per commit when adding or deleting entries. Exception: a prune sweep is one commit per section, its body listing each removal with its reason. Format, wording, or categorization changes across multiple entries may be bundled in a single commit.
  • Every keep/drop reason must be verified against current online data at decision time — download counts, repo activity and archived status, PyPI metadata, project docs. Training-data recollections alone are not evidence; verify before stating, and label anything unverifiable as a judgment call.
  • README.md is the single source of content truth.
