"Roberge's Used Robot (RUR) : a Python Learning Environment" is a Python implementation of a "robot environment" as introduced by R. Pattis in 1981. **It is obsolete.** See https://github.com/aroberge/rur-ple

Sphinx is a tool that makes it easy to create intelligent and beautiful documentation, written by Georg Brandl and licensed under the BSD license. It was originally created for the Python documentation, and it has excellent facilities for the documentation of software projects in a range of languages. Of course, this site is also created from reStructuredText sources using Sphinx! HTML (including Windows HTML Help), LaTeX (for printable PDF versions), ePub, Texinfo, manual pages, plain text. Semantic markup and automatic links for functions, classes, citations, glossary terms and similar pieces of information. Easy definition of a document tree, with automatic links to siblings, parents and children. General index as well as a language-specific module index. Automatic highlighting using the Pygments highlighter. Automatic testing of code snippets, the inclusion of docstrings from Python modules (API docs), and more.

Papermerge is an open source document management system (DMS) primarily designed for archiving and retrieving your digital documents. Instead of having piles of paper documents all over your desk, office or drawers - you can quickly scan them and configure your scanner to directly upload to Papermerge DMS. Store, organize and index scanned documents in PDF, JPEG and TIFF formats. Instantly find relevant information using full text, tags and metadata-based search. Papermerge is free and open-source software which means that transparency is the core value of our software development. Source code can be reviewed and improved by anyone from anywhere. Papermerge supports multiple users. Each user can be assigned different permissions to perform only a specific kind of action e.g. view only documents from a specific folder. OCR technology is vital part of Papermerge. It extracts text information from scanned documents, PDF, JPEG, TIFF files.

AsciiDoc is a presentable text document format for writing articles, UNIX man pages and other small to medium sized documents. The asciidoc(1) command translates AsciiDoc files to HTML, DocBook and LinuxDoc formats.

nginx-admins-handbook is a practical, in-depth guide for configuring, securing, and operating NGINX across real-world deployments. It distills years of research, notes, and field experience into a single handbook that complements the official docs with concrete rules, explanations, and curated external references. The handbook spans fundamentals and advanced topics alike, from HTTP and SSL/TLS basics to reverse proxy patterns, performance tuning, debugging workflows, and hardening strategies. A centerpiece is its prioritized checklist of 79 rules, grouped by criticality, helping readers focus on what most impacts security, reliability, and speed. Instead of copy-paste snippets in isolation, it emphasizes understanding trade-offs, avoiding common pitfalls, and balancing security with usability. Designed for system administrators and web application engineers, it aims to be a living companion that encourages experimentation, measurement, and continuous improvement of NGINX configurations

The tensorflow-zh repository is a Chinese translation of the official TensorFlow documentation, organized to make the core guides, tutorials, and reference material accessible to Chinese speakers. It was initiated shortly after TensorFlow’s open-sourcing, with translation and proofreading contributions from a community of volunteers who aimed to bridge the language barrier for learners in China and other Mandarin communities. The repo mirrors the structure of the original English docs: chapters, sections, code examples, API references, and supplementary content like configuration and build guides. It includes additional files like a PDF version (compiled LaTeX/TeX sources), table of contents mappings, and translation metadata to track contributions. Over time, the repo has evolved to stay in sync with upstream changes, providing versioned snapshots of the translated content.

Epydoc is a tool for generating API documentation for Python modules, based on their docstrings. Epydoc supports two output formats (HTML and PDF), and four markup languages for docstrings (Epytext, Javadoc, ReStructuredText, and plaintext).

SLOCCount is an easy-to-use tool that counts Source Lines of Code (SLOC). It auto-determines the language(s) (inc. C, C++, Ada, Assembly, shell, COBOL, C#, Fortran, Haskell, Java, LISP/Scheme, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, SQL). It also estimates cost & time.

Python Audio Tools are a collection of audio handling programs. These include programs for CD extraction, track conversion from one audio format to another, track renaming and retagging, track identification, CD burning from tracks, and more.

The purpose of this project is to create a German translation of the book <a href="http://www.byteofpython.info">"A Byte of Python"</a> originally written in English by Swaroop C H.

Leo is an outlining-oriented project manager and browser. With Leo you can organize programs, web sites, URL's, pictures or any other kind of data. Leo is fully scriptable in Python. Leo is 100% pure Python. It requires the Qt gui toolkit.

2023/04/04: MIGRATED TO https://gitlab.com/wef/gjots2 gjots2 is a fairly simple jotter (outline processor) application for your desktop. See http://bhepple.freeshell.org/gjots

DocLite is a simple documentation authoring system, it produces multi-page HTML output (like this document) in a style similar to that found in the Linux HOTWTOs or other DocBook created documents.

Extracts code from source files for inclusion in documentation.

ARREA (A Reasonable Requirements Engineering Application) is a simple yet powerful requirements management tool that uses arbitrary files to store information and Subversion to allow team collaboration. Its simple conventions make it suitable for much other purposes. In fact, for any document-oriented tasks focused on collaborative work and exhaustive change and traceability management. At its heart, ARREA provides a thin layer on top of SVN that allows it to be used as a powerful time-aware NoSQL database, accessible through an easy REST API.

AFMS is an Artefact Management System to manage some of the artefacts appearing in the development process of a product. Artefacts are for example requirements, use cases or test cases. AFMS contains an artefact editor and a test execution tool.

AsciiLitProg is a programming language neutral literate programing tool based on AsciiDoc.

A collection of graph classification methods, covering embedding, deep learning, graph kernel and factorization papers with reference implementations. Relevant graph classification benchmark datasets are available. Similar collections about community detection, classification/regression tree, fraud detection, Monte Carlo tree search, and gradient boosting papers with implementations.

Full blender integrated documentation and multi-language translation (help) > Python script for Blender, a free open source 3D content creation suite, available for all major operating systems under the GNU General Public License.

CodeInvestigator is a tracing tool for Python programs. All the run time information is recorded. Read your code together with its run time details. Use it to visualize what happened when you program ran.

Provides a toolset and usage convention for Code Tags (eg TODO, FIXME, BUG) in source file comments.

System to assist with the management of a local Buddhist study library. Will download and install chosen documentation (sutras, etc), index them, and provide a web interface. Python, HTML. Needs a webserver, namazu. Can be used for other documents, too.

The Django-driven web-based book-authoring content-management-system (ddwbbacms) is a program that allows authors to work on their books, articles, or topics without having to have their hard drives nearby. Access to the web is all that is required.

This project has been moved to GitHub: https://github.com/tomschr/dbcookbook/ The DoCookBook project aims to create an open source book about DocBook and the DocBook XSL stylesheets written as a cookbook and released under a Creative Commons license.
