Shared is a Python package created to be the programmer's companion when it comes to storing application data, managing configuration files, caching data, and exchanging data with other programs.

Although a lightweight package, Shared smoothly handles collections (dict, list, set), binary data, and SQL queries.

Shared's intuitive application programming interface is designed as a triptych. Thus, three classes with similar interfaces are created to cover the needs of data exchange and persistence: Document, Dossier, and Database.

Backstage is a cross-platform automation tool that looks for a backstage.tasks file in the current working directory to run a specific task defined in that file on demand.

A task can be a sequence or pipeline of processes to be spawned, instructions for performing file and directory manipulation, or something more sophisticated.

Backstage exposes a command line interface that allows the user to discover available tasks, run a task with arguments, read a task documentation, use a glob-like syntax to search for a task by its name or by a keyword that is part of the documentation of the task, et cetera.

This project implements an intuitive and minimalist hooking mechanism. It exposes a decorator to tag methods and functions (targets), and so when they are called, user-defined hooks will be executed upstream or downstream.

Arguments to targets are passed to hooks which can modify them or replace the targets themselves with an arbitrary callable or None. Hooks are not directly tied to targets but to tags. Thus, hooks are loosely coupled to targets and dynamically bound to tags.

This library allows the programmer to augment a function or method. It is therefore the perfect solution to create a plugin mechanism for a project. It can also be used for debugging, benchmarking or event-driven programming, et cetera.

TkStyle is a styling library for Tkinter that takes advantage of the autocomplete feature of IDEs so that you hardly need any prior Tkinter styling knowledge.

Each Tkinter widget has a set of options that allow you to define its look. For example, the tkinter.Button widget has the background and foreground options to change the background color and the text color on the button respectively.

TkStyle reproduces for each widget a class which bears the name of the widget and which has attributes representing the options to modify the appearance of the widget.

Exn is a lightweight Python application for browsing a dossier of exonotes.

An exonote is plain text written with an eponymous markup language inspired by Markdown and rendered with Tkinter (the default GUI library for Python).

Interactivity can be added to an exonote by embedding GUI programs written in Python with Tkinter.

Additionally, all or part of an exonote can be arbitrarily generated using custom Python scripts.
