Mock is a library for testing in Python. It allows you to replace parts of your system under test with mock objects and make assertions about how they have been used. This library is now part of Python (since Python 3.3), available via the unittest.mock module.

Enum34 is the new Python stdlib enum module available in Python 3.4 backported for previous versions of Python from 2.4 to 3.3.

The lxml XML toolkit is a Pythonic binding for the C libraries libxml2 and libxslt.

This module is primarily a backport of the Python 3.2 contextlib to earlier Python versions. Like contextlib, it provides utilities for common tasks involving decorators and context managers. It also contains additional features that are not part of the standard library.

This Python library allows reading and writing to the Excel XLSX, XLSM, XLTX and XLTM file formats that are defined by the Office Open XML (OOXML) standard.

Pandas is a Python package providing fast, flexible, and expressive data structures designed to make working with structured (tabular, multidimensional, potentially heterogeneous) and time series data both easy and intuitive. It aims to be the fundamental high-level building block for doing practical, real world data analysis in Python.

importlib_metadata is a library which provides an API for accessing an installed Python package's metadata, such as its entry points or its top-level name. This functionality intends to replace most uses of pkg_resources entry point API and metadata API. Along with importlib.resources in Python 3.7 and newer, this can eliminate the need to use the older and less efficient pkg_resources package.

This is a backport of the subprocess standard library module from Python 3.2 and 3.3 for use on Python 2. It includes bugfixes and some new features. On POSIX systems it is guaranteed to be reliable when used in threaded applications. It includes timeout support from Python 3.3 but otherwise matches 3.2’s API.

The pyparsing module is an alternative approach to creating and executing simple grammars, vs. the traditional lex/yacc approach, or the use of regular expressions. The pyparsing module provides a library of classes that client code uses to construct the grammar directly in Python code.

This package provides a pathlib-compatible Zipfile object wrapper. It provides a backport of the Path object.

importlib_metadata is a library which provides an API for accessing an installed Python package's metadata, such as its entry points or its top-level name. This functionality intends to replace most uses of pkg_resources entry point API and metadata API. Along with importlib.resources in Python 3.7 and newer, this can eliminate the need to use the older and less efficient pkg_resources package.

This package provides an implementation of importlib.resources for older versions of Python.

Pluggy is an extraction of the plugin manager as used by Pytest but stripped of Pytest specific details.

Pyro is a Distributed Object Technology system written in Python that is designed to be easy to use. It resembles Java's Remote Method Invocation (RMI). It has less similarity to CORBA, which is a system and language independent Distributed Object Technology and has much more to offer than Pyro or RMI. Pyro 3.x is no longer maintained. New projects should use Pyro4 instead, which is the new Pyro version that is actively developed.

This package provides a pathlib-compatible Zipfile object wrapper. It provides a backport of the Path object.

MMTK is a library for molecular simulations with an emphasis on biomolecules. It provides widely used methods such as Molecular Dynamics and normal mode analysis, but also basic routines for implementing new methods for simulation and analysis. The library is currently not actively maintained and works only with Python 2 and NumPy < 1.9.

Backport of funcsigs which was introduced in Python 3.3.

Matplotlib is a Python 2D plotting library which produces publication quality figures in a variety of hardcopy formats and interactive environments across platforms. Matplotlib can be used in Python scripts, the python and ipython shell, web application servers, and six graphical user interface toolkits.

The goal of pathlib2 is to provide a backport of standard pathlib module which tracks the standard library module, so all the newest features of the standard pathlib can be used also on older Python versions.

Pathlib offers a set of classes to handle file system paths. It offers the following advantages over using string objects:

1. No more cumbersome use of os and os.path functions. Everything can be done easily through operators, attribute accesses, and method calls.

2. Embodies the semantics of different path types. For example, comparing Windows paths ignores casing.

3. Well-defined semantics, eliminating any inconsistencies or ambiguities (forward vs. backward slashes, etc.).

This package is a backport of the functools module from Python 3.2.3 for use with older versions of Python and PyPy.

Pytest-cov produces coverage reports. It supports centralised testing and distributed testing in both load and each modes. It also supports coverage of subprocesses.

Nose extends the unittest library to make testing easier.

NumPy is the fundamental package for scientific computing with Python. It contains among other things: a powerful N-dimensional array object, sophisticated (broadcasting) functions, tools for integrating C/C++ and Fortran code, useful linear algebra, Fourier transform, and random number capabilities. Version 1.8 is the last one to contain the numpy.oldnumeric API that includes the compatibility layer numpy.oldnumeric with NumPy's predecessor Numeric.

ScientificPython is a collection of Python modules that are useful for scientific computing. Most modules are rather general (Geometry, physical units, automatic derivatives, ...) whereas others are more domain-specific (e.g. netCDF and PDB support). The library is currently not actively maintained and works only with Python 2 and NumPy < 1.9.
