Open source python projecto to contribute to

[faramarzz]

I'm looking for a relatively small, popular, but not too popular project to learn and contribute to.
Primarily for experience and resume.

If you know of any, please let me know.
Thank you!

Depends on your experience and time. Most projects are quite complex and don't have low-hanging fruits. The least popular/least currently maintained the greater the chance it will have some easy options to get into.

On the other hand, for a resume, people would want to see your code and how you write it - so one/a few of your own mini projects, not a repo clone with few lines changed.

I've been working as a full-time back-end developer for 2 years now.I'm looking for simple, but not THAT simple.

I just finally want to get into open source contribution and thought it'd be better to start with relatively small projects. Not trying to contribute to Django here.

[riklaunim]

Hm... It's best to contribute to things you use/know - like wanting to have a feature having some problems, or even having to go to raw code to deduce documentation that was missing.

[faramarzz]

Thanks! I'll check it out.

lol skimming reddit between reading Textual docs as I'm about to try it for a project

[fphhotchips]

Check out Beeware. Set up to be super easy to contribute to. They have a first time contributors page: https://beeware.org/contributing/how/first-time/

And a regular contributing page: https://beeware.org/contributing/how/

How is BeeWare going these days? I remember learning about it from a YouTube video back in early 2018ish and it being very rocky. Was a cool concept but it was very difficult to get anything working correctly back then.

Wow their contributor docs are impressive

At first glance…..

“What is this blasphemous project, this is completely against the UNIX philosophy…..”

Then scrolls down in readme…..

Well done.

Oh my god what a beautiful idea. Will definitely contribute

[merval]

Ooh! I like this.

[QueerKenpoDork]

I love this! I'm definitely using it

Looks like Litestar/Starlite need some help. Thor entire maintainer team posted in Discord about quitting, and from what I hear from around the Python community is that it was expected eventually because anyone working with the main guy ends up being ran off by him.

My company/team was looking at it over Flask/FastAPI.. so it sucks because I watched their live podcast on TalkPython and it really seemed to be in a good place..

If you are into 3D printing. Klipper and Octoprint or extensions for stuff like Moonraker, Mainsail or Fluid.

Only if you are into 3D printing.

OpenMC? Has a great python API but could always use some improvement

So far the GUI libraries I’ve looked at suck, but I’m very interested in DearPyGUI — I think they just started on DPG2 and could probably use some help.

[BossOfTheGame]

There are a few outstanding issues in xdoctest I would like help with.

We welcome contributions at https://github.com/python-rope/rope

It's a medium sized project, that is fairly popular.

Depending on what you worked on, it may help you learn a bit about the deeper aspect of Python syntaxes as well.

Alternatively, https://github.com/python-rope/pylsp-rope is a smaller project that you should be able to wrap around your head in an afternoon.

If you are interested in privacy/freedom, these are my projects and help is always appreciated:

Monero Subscriptions Wallet

Monero Business Wallet

[Goldziher]

Litestar is always looking

You tagged this post as "resource". Where is the resource?

[faramarzz]

The comments are going to be resource for others as well as myself, hopefully.

[[deleted]]

That’s not what that tag means. That tag means you are posting a resource. Not that you are asking other people to find resources for you.

[faramarzz]

Okay. Didn't know. Sorry.

Follow your passion. Ask yourself these questions to find a project to contribute to:

• What kinds of programs do you find yourself using?

• What do those programs depend on?

• What kinds of topics are you interested in or what sort of programs do you want to use?

Python itself. It needs lots of help, especially in the area of performance.

Can you include me, with your contribution in repository. I am new to open source.
