Requests - https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests . How to make a usable api. The decisions that went into each method call were fantastic. Great test coverage as well. I use package in most python development.
requests is very useful, but it always gets mentioned as a good python codebase and I'm not sure I agree. One example:
The first thing many users will do is
requests.get?
Beyond that I did look into the codebase once to investigate a possible bug and there were a few python style things I wanted to fix, but I don't remember them so this comment probably sounds kind of annoying (it would annoy me if I were reading it not writing it...). It didn't strike me a really clean codebase. But yes the library is very useful and I'm sure it's a pretty decent python codebase.
