MSS - Mission Support System
The Mission Support System (MSS) is a software that is written by scientists in the field of atmospheric science. The purpose is to have a tool that simplifies the process for planning a scientific flight in which parameters of the atmosphere are measured. MSS helps to optimize the scientific outcome of the research flights by displaying the planned flight route and the corresponding model parameters in the same platform for many discussed options. It does therefore reduce somehow the amount of flight hours that is needed to answer a scientific question and thus saves in the end taxpayers money.
CVE Binary Tool
The CVE Binary Tool helps you determine if your system includes known vulnerabilities. You can scan binaries for over 200 common, vulnerable components (openssl, libpng, libxml2, expat and others), or if you know the components used, you can get a list of known vulnerabilities associated with an SBOM or a list of components and versions.
Tölvera
Tölvera is a Python library for composing together and interacting with self-organising systems and artificial life. It provides creative coding-style APIs that allow users to combine and compose various built-in behaviours, such as flocking, slime mold growth, and swarming. With built-in support for Open Sound Control (OSC) and interactive machine learning (IML), Tölvera interfaces with music software and hardware for exploring diverse intelligence in artistic contexts.
pocketpy
pocketpy is a portable Python 3.x interpreter, written in C11. It aims to be an alternative to Lua for game scripting, with elegant syntax, powerful features and competitive performance. pocketpy has no dependencies other than the C standard library, which can be easily integrated into your C/C++ project. Developers are able to write Python bindings via C-API or pybind11 compatible interfaces.
Borg Collective
We are the Borg Collective and maintain multiple Python-based backup tools that are often used in combination: Borg, Borgmatic and Vorta. The core Borg tool is a deduplicating archiver with compression and deduplication. Vorta is a desktop backp client that integrtes with Linux and macOS desktops. Borgmatic is a wrapper for server systems that also takes care of database backups and pre-backup commands.
MNE-Python
MNE-Python software is an open-source Python package for exploring, visualizing, and analyzing human neurophysiological data such as MEG, EEG, sEEG, ECoG, and more. It includes modules for data input/output, preprocessing, visualization, source estimation, time-frequency analysis, connectivity analysis, machine learning, and statistics.
ilastik
ilastik allows users without computational expertise to leverage machine learning to easily segment and classify cells and other structures in biological images. It is designed to be user-friendly, while still providing powerful tools for image analysis.
PyLadiesCon
PyLadiesCon is an online conference for the global PyLadies community. Our conference began in 2023. During our conference, we host 24 hours of online engagement, talks, keynotes, panels, and workshops for our community members. We strive of inclusivity and accessibility, providing talks in multiple-languages, and we take extra care in subtitling and translating our talks. Being an online, multi-language, multi-timezone conference, we face unique and different challenges from other types of events and conferences. We are developing an online web portal to help manage the behind the scenes work of our conference organizing team.
Open World Holidays Framework
The Open World Holidays is a framework that provides accurate and reliable public holiday data for 150+ entities around the world. It aims to make this information easily accessible to use in scheduling, planning, and offering localized services (e.g., payroll systems, event planning apps, travel booking websites, or e-commerce platforms that want to offer region-specific services).
Pwndbg
Pwndbg is a plugin for GDB & LLDB that improves debugging experience for low-level software developers, hardware hackers, reverse engineers, security researchers or capture the flag security competition players. It helps with all this by providing a colorful TUI showing the user CPU register values, disassembled code, values on the stack memory, backtrace and list of current threads. The colors provide information where given pointers point to, and, the pointers are dereferenced to show what they contain. All this displayed context immediately helps in understanding what is going on in the debugged program. Pwndbg provides lots of useful commands, e.g., for dumping process information, inspecting glibc or linux kernel heap allocator metadata, finding pointers in memory, displaying stack canary/cookie values, getting a hexdump of memory, and many many more. Apart from this, Pwndbg provides an API that can be used to use or extend its features when users need to script some tasks in GDB or LLDB.
Contributors can propose working on more than one idea, and then adjust time accordingly between them. If it makes sense, a projects could also be extended to large length.
Friends of the PSF
Here's some more interesting organizations that use Python!
- TARDIS TARDIS is an open-source Monte Carlo radiative-transfer spectral synthesis code for 1D models of supernova ejecta. It is designed for rapid spectral modelling of supernovae. It is developed and maintained by a multi-disciplinary team iincluding software engineers, computer scientists, statisticians, and astrophysicists.
