Refusing to read (in spite of my genuine interest) based on the click-baity title.

The text is written in the same clickbaity style. But the libraries look pretty interesting.

Summary of list:

  * Typer
  * Rich
  * Dear PyGui
  * PrettyErrors - formatting and coloring error messages in the terminal
  * Diagrams
  * Hydra - build configurations in a composable manner, and override certain parts from the command line or config files.
  * OmegaConf
  * PyTorch Lightning
  * Hummingbird - compile your trained traditional ML models into tensor computations
  * HiPlot - high-dimensional data using parallel plots
  * Scalene
  * Norfair - real-time object tracking; the real reason for this post, as it is created by the company

I've been using Python a lot, both professionally and privately. Been contributing to Cpython.

Not sure I like the language. The best dependency manager (Poetry) is buggy. The default interpreter is slow.

But I love the ecosystem of third party packades. Thank you! Python will be around for a long time.

I second this. The libraries were actualy pretty interesting

I like how they led with something of general interest -- just about anybody might want to make a command line script that requires arguments. Typer might help me get away from Bash scripts to just write in Python.

Thanks for putting that together. Great list!

I use Hy (a thin Lisp skin/wrapper for Python) for a few personal projects (not at work) and great libraries help make applications shorter and easier to maintain. Best code to write is no code.

As I'm writing this, the title is "Top Python libraries of 2020 you should know about". Sure, it sounds a bit click-baity, but what's a better way of writing that title? The only way to remove the clickbait element is to literally list all or several of the libraries, which would make for a terrible title.

Agreed. I've had exact same idea for quite some time now, but never got to writing it - I'm glad someone did, and seemingly in a very good manner.
