Setuptools_scm handles managing your Python package versions in software configuration management (SCM) metadata instead of declaring them as the version argument or in a SCM managed file.

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.).

python2-backports-functools-lru-cache is a backport of functools.lru_cache from Python 3.3.

Python's built-in itertools module implements a number of iterator building blocks inspired by constructs from APL, Haskell, and SML. more-itertools includes additional building blocks for working with iterables.

The Python Imaging Library adds image processing capabilities to your Python interpreter. This library provides extensive file format support, an efficient internal representation, and fairly powerful image processing capabilities. The core image library is designed for fast access to data stored in a few basic pixel formats. It should provide a solid foundation for a general image processing tool.

The dateutil module provides powerful extensions to the standard datetime module, available in Python 2.3+.

Beautiful Soup is a Python library designed for rapidly setting up screen-scraping projects. It offers Pythonic idioms for navigating, searching, and modifying a parse tree, providing a toolkit for dissecting a document and extracting what you need. It automatically converts incoming documents to Unicode and outgoing documents to UTF-8.

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

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.

This package provides chardet, a Python module that can automatically detect a wide range of file encodings.

Setuptools is a fully-featured, stable library designed to facilitate packaging Python projects, where packaging includes:

• Python package and module definitions

• distribution package metadata

• test hooks

• project installation

• platform-specific details.

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.

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

Directory iteration function like os.listdir(), except that instead of returning a list of bare filenames, it yields DirEntry objects that include file type and stat information along with the name. Using scandir() increases the speed of os.walk() by 2-20 times (depending on the platform and file system) by avoiding unnecessary calls to os.stat() in most cases.

This package is part of the Python standard library since version 3.5.

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.

Python bindings for GLib, GObject, and GIO.

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

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.

Python Build Reasonableness (PBR) is a library that injects some useful and sensible default behaviors into your setuptools run. It will set versions, process requirements files and generate AUTHORS and ChangeLog file from git information.

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.

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.

Kiwi is an efficient C++ implementation of the Cassowary constraint solving algorithm. Kiwi has been designed from the ground up to be lightweight and fast. Kiwi ranges from 10x to 500x faster than the original Cassowary solver with typical use cases gaining a 40x improvement. Memory savings are consistently > 5x.

Hypothesis is a library for testing your Python code against a much larger range of examples than you would ever want to write by hand. It’s based on the Haskell library, Quickcheck, and is designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing Python unit testing work flow.
