There's something to be said for the nearly non existent api provided by tqdm.

Not really 2015 but Q! https://pypi.python.org/pypi/q

Print-debugging on steroids. This really does make things so much easier, especially when dealing with huge apps you don't have time to learn. Not just useful as a dev but also as a sysadmin.

Interesting list. I love Anaconda!

A few years ago I tried to set up a Mac with a scientific computing stack and it took me days to hack my way through all the various dependencies and incompatible versions. Anaconda now lets me do that in a minutes.

No kidding! Thankfully brew makes this more pleasant.

Why would anyone need a simple NoSQL? Why would you go the NoSQL route if it isn't a HUGE complex database?

It's really good for prototyping things, actually.

Me too...I taught a python class by making everyone download Anaconda's distribution of 3.x...and everyone could do the assignments no matter what kind of computer they used. Anaconda does a little too much for me to have it be my own default install but it does quite well in on boarding beginners. I use pyenv to install maintain Anaconda on my own machine when I need to replicate student work
