The Python keyring lib provides a easy way to access the system keyring service
from python. It can be used in any application that needs safe password storage.

python-killswitch provides a python module called killswitch. It provides
convenient function/methods for other applications to manage all the
killswitches found in the system. See 'pydoc killswitch.py' for more
information

Kivy is an open source software library for rapid development of applications
that make use of innovative user interfaces, such as multi-touch apps.

The Levenshtein Python C extension module contains functions for fast
computation of

* Levenshtein (edit) distance, and edit operations
* string similarity
* approximate median strings, and generally string averaging
* string sequence and set similarity

It supports both normal and Unicode strings.

Python 2.2 or newer is required.

StringMatcher.py is an example SequenceMatcher-like class built on the top of
Levenshtein. It misses some SequenceMatcher's functionality, and has some extra
OTOH.

Levenshtein.c can be used as a pure C library, too. You only have to define
NO_PYTHON preprocessor symbol (-DNO_PYTHON) when compiling it. The
functionality is similar to that of the Python extension. No separate docs are
provided yet, RTFS. But they are not interchangeable:

* C functions exported when compiling with -DNO_PYTHON (see Levenshtein.h) are
not exported when compiling as a Python extension (and vice versa)
* Unicode character type used with -DNO_PYTHON is wchar_t, Python
extension uses Py_UNICODE, they may be the same but don't count on it

Louie provides Python programmers with a straightforward way to
dispatch signals between objects in a wide variety of contexts. It is
based on PyDispatcher, which in turn was based on a highly-rated
recipe in the Python Cookbook.

M2Crypto is a crypto and SSL toolkit for Python featuring the
following:

RSA, DSA, DH, HMACs, message digests, symmetric ciphers (including
AES). SSL functionality to implement clients and servers. HTTPS
extensions to Python's httplib, urllib, and xmlrpclib. Unforgeable
HMAC'ing AuthCookies for web session management. FTP/TLS client and
server. S/MIME. ZServerSSL: A HTTPS server for Zope. ZSmime: An S/MIME
messenger for Zope.

It currently lives at
http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Projects/MeTooCrypto. The
original M2Crypto homepage is at http://sandbox.rulemaker.net/ngps/m2/.

Mako is a template library written in Python. It provides a familiar, non-XML
syntax which compiles into Python modules for maximum performance. Mako's
syntax and API borrows from the best ideas of many others, including Django
templates, Cheetah, Myghty, and Genshi. Conceptually, Mako is an embedded
Python (i.e. Python Server Page) language, which refines the familiar ideas
of componentized layout and inheritance to produce one of the most
straightforward and flexible models available, while also maintaining close
ties to Python calling and scoping semantics.

Implements a unicode subclass that supports HTML strings. This can be used to
safely encode strings for dynamically generated we pages.

This module provides basic functions for handling mime-types. It can handle matching mime-types against a list of media-ranges. See section 14.1 of the HTTP specification [RFC 2616] for a complete explanation.

Minimock is a simple library for doing Mock objects with doctest.
When using doctest, mock objects can be very simple.

Mutagen is a Python module to handle audio metadata. It supports FLAC,
M4A, MP3, Ogg FLAC, Ogg Speex, Ogg Theora, Ogg Vorbis, True Audio, and
WavPack audio files. All versions of ID3v2 are supported, and all
standard ID3v2.4 frames are parsed. It can read Xing headers to
accurately calculate the bitrate and length of MP3s. ID3 and APEv2 tags
can be edited regardless of their audio format. It can also manipulate
Ogg streams on an individual packet/page level.

netifaces provides a (hopefully portable-ish) way for Python programmers to get access to a list of the network interfaces on the local machine, and to obtain the addresses of those network interfaces.

The package has been tested on Mac OS X, Windows 2000 and Linux. On Windows, it is currently not able to retrieve IPv6 addresses, owing to shortcomings of the Windows API.

It should work on other UNIX-like systems provided they implement either getifaddrs() or support the SIOCGIFxxx socket options, although the data provided by the socket options is normally less complete.

nose-exclude is a Nose plugin that allows you to easily specify directories to be excluded from testing.

Python bindings for libnotify.

Odfpy is a library to read and write OpenDocument v. 1.1 files.
The main focus has been to prevent the programmer from creating invalid
documents. It has checks that raise an exception if the programmer adds
an invalid element, adds an attribute unknown to the grammar, forgets to
add a required attribute or adds text to an element that doesn't allow it.

These checks and the API itself were generated from the RelaxNG
schema, and then hand-edited. Therefore the API is complete and can
handle all ODF constructions.

In addition to the API, there are a few scripts:

- csv2odf - Create OpenDocument spreadsheet from comma separated values
- mailodf - Email ODF file as HTML archive
- odf2xhtml - Convert ODF to (X)HTML
- odf2mht - Convert ODF to HTML archive
- odf2xml - Create OpenDocument XML file from OD? package
- odfimgimport - Import external images
- odflint - Check ODF file for problems
- odfmeta - List or change the metadata of an ODF file
- odfoutline - Show outline of OpenDocument
- odfuserfield - List or change the user-field declarations in an ODF file
- xml2odf - Create OD? package from OpenDocument in XML form

OpenEXR is an image format developed by ILM. Its main innovation is
support for high dynamic range: it supports floating point pixels.

These modules provide Python bindings for the OpenEXR libraries: it
allows you to read and write OpenEXR files from Python.

Note that this module only loads and stores images: it does not do
any image manipulation operations. For that you might want to use
one of:
* PIL
* NumPy
* vop
* OpenCV
* HALF
* UINT
* FLOAT
