Products that do what Packagr.app – a cloud hosted PyPI server for Python developers does
Hi, I recently launched Packagr.app - a simple cloud hosted private PIP index which Python developers can use to store and deploy private Python packages: https://www.packagr.app Packagr provides a convenient alternative to open source solutions such as pypiserver and devpi-server and takes care of hosting, authentication and package sharing out of the box Thanks for looking, Chris

Hello everyone! My friend Ori Kabeli and I have been playing around with GPT-4 Vision as a way to control websites and complete complicated tasks online. We created a small proof of concept python package called pywebagent. pywebagent allows performing high level tasks in websites, accessible to developers as simple python functions. It is highly experimental, and only sometimes works, but we think it still might be useful to all you tinkerers out there. Feel free to contribute! Example Use Case: You can order things from amazon with one line of code. pywebagent.act(…

Hi, A few months ago, I shared a tool I built for personal use to easily trace HTTP client requests in any Python app. It links requests to the corresponding Python code and comes with a nice UI. By easily, I mean: no external dependencies, no setup, no superuser rights, and no code modifications — just do "pip install httpdbg" and then launch your code using the "pyhttpdbg" command. That’s it. I received a lot of positive feedback — not just here, but also on social media, in podcasts, and beyond. So, thank you! Since I last introduced httpdbg, I’ve made many improvements — based on both my…

Hey HN. I've just launched my very first webappp and would love your feedback. http://www.7bks.com It's a book list sharing website - kind of like playlists for bookworms. The site is built on pyton/appengine - and I learned to code in under 4 weeks to build the site. There's more details on the background of the site here: http://www.7bks.com/blog/179001 I've also published the full Python code for the site here: https://gist.github.com/670034 Feedback is really important to me and I want to work hard to make the site better so any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. Contact…

"Hi Hacker News, I’ve always found Docker to be overkill for simple Python deployments. It's heavy, complex for non-tech users, and often results in 500MB+ images for a 10KB script. That’s why I built Pygantry. It’s a minimalist 'container' engine based on Python venv but made portable and relocatable. Key features: Lightweight: A full 'shipped' app is usually < 20MB. Zero-Config: No daemon, no root, no Dockerfile complexity. Portable: Build once, zip it, and run it anywhere with a Python interpreter. Founder friendly: Built-in licensing and stealth modes for those building a business. I…

I built a CLI tool that turns codebases and PRs into diagrams so you can quickly understand how things fit together. Originally made it because I couldn't follow my own AI-generated repos. Just shipped a big update: - Switched from D2 to Mermaid for rendering - Tree-sitter AST parsing + agentic flow instead of raw LLM calls. ~50x faster. - Works on any GitHub repo or PR, not just local - Dropped the web frontend, it's just a CLI now - Published as a pip package Still a ton to improve and I'm building fast. Feedback, issues, PRs all welcome.

Google Docs for Python basically. For the past 4 months, I’ve been working on a full-stack project I’m really proud of called PyTogether; a real-time collaborative Python IDE designed with beginners in mind (think Google Docs, but for Python). It’s meant for pair programming, tutoring, or just learning Python together. It’s completely free. No subscriptions, no ads, nothing. Just create an account, make a group, and start a project. Has proper code-linting, live drawings for note-taking or teaching, voice chat, an extremely intuitive UI, autosaving, and live cursors. There are no limitations…

Hi HN, We’ve all accepted the "Python tax"—you trade execution speed for developer happiness. But what if that trade-off was a thing of the past? I just came across BustAPI, and it’s basically a "cheat code" for Python web services. It’s not just another wrapper; it’s a hybrid engine that embeds a Rust (Actix-Web) core directly into the Python runtime. Is this the end of the "slow Python" era? The benchmarks are pretty shocking. I’d love to see someone stress-test this against a production-grade Go or Node.js setup. Repo: https://github.com/GrandpaEJ/BustAPI Benchmarks:…

Pipy 0.30 is now available. It adds improvements to a number of areas including better documentation, more core controls, new filters, enhanced Cache and Metrics API, and some bug fixes. The Pipy Runtime API has expanded its coverage of SSL engines, asynchronous file read/write operations. This release was truly a community effort and could not have been made possible without all of the hard work from everyone involved in active discussions and the Pipy project on GitHub.The Pipy community provides code submissions covering new functionality and bug fixes, documentation improvements,…

I've been using LLMs for long discovery and research chats (papers, repos, best practices), then distilling that into phased markdown (build plan + tests), then handing those phases to Codex/Claude to implement and test phase by phase. The annoying part was always the distillation and keeping docs and architecture current, so I built Unpack: a lightweight GitHub template plus docs structure and a few commands that turns conversations into phases/specs and keeps project docs up to date as the agent builds. It can also generate Mintlify-friendly end-user docs. There are other…
