Unredact
A simple tool for reading in poorly redacted documents
Unredact is a specialized tool that attempts to reconstruct redacted or obscured text in images, PDFs, or screenshots using a combination of image processing and generative AI inference to suggest plausible completions of blurred, black-boxed, or jumbled content. Unlike traditional optical character recognition (OCR), which only reads visible text, Unredact focuses on inferring missing content where redaction has been applied by analyzing surrounding context, font characteristics, and linguistic patterns to produce candidate reconstructions. It accepts a variety of input formats, automatically identifies redacted regions, and then generates text suggestions that are presented alongside visual overlays so users can choose or refine outputs. -

simplejson
simplejson is a simple, fast, extensible JSON encoder/decoder
simplejson is a simple, fast, complete, correct and extensible JSON <http://json.org> encoder and decoder for Python 3.3+ with legacy support for Python 2.5+. It is pure Python code with no dependencies but includes an optional C extension for a serious speed boost. simplejson is the externally maintained development version of the json library included with Python (since 2.6). This version is tested with the latest Python 3.8 and maintains backward compatibility with Python 3.3+ and the legacy Python 2.5 - Python 2.7 releases. The encoder can be specialized to provide serialization in any kind of situation, without any special support by the objects to be serialized (somewhat like pickle). This is best done with the default kwarg to dumps. -

TOML
Tom Preston-Werner's obvious, minimal language
Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language. By Tom Preston-Werner, Pradyun Gedam, et al. TOML aims to be a minimal configuration file format that's easy to read due to obvious semantics. TOML is designed to map unambiguously to a hash table. TOML should be easy to parse into data structures in a wide variety of languages. TOML shares traits with other file formats used for application configuration and data serialization, such as YAML and JSON. TOML and JSON both are simple and use ubiquitous data types, making them easy to code for or parse with machines. TOML and YAML both emphasize human readability features, like comments that make it easier to understand the purpose of a given line. TOML differs in combining these, allowing comments (unlike JSON) but preserving simplicity (unlike YAML). Because TOML is explicitly intended as a configuration file format, parsing it is easy, but it is not intended for serializing arbitrary data structures. -

JC
CLI tool and python library
CLI tool and python library that converts the output of popular command-line tools and file types to JSON or Dictionaries. This allows piping of output to tools like jq and simplifying automation scripts. jc JSONifies the output of many CLI tools and file types for easier parsing in scripts. This allows further command-line processing of output with tools like jq or jello by piping commands. The JC parsers can also be used as python modules. In this case, the output will be a python dictionary, or a list of dictionaries, instead of JSON. Two representations of the data are available. The default representation uses a strict schema per parser and converts known numbers to int/float JSON values. Certain known values of None are converted to JSON null, known boolean values are converted, and, in some cases, additional semantic context fields are added. -

pywebview
Build GUI for your Python program with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS
pywebview is a lightweight cross-platform wrapper around a webview component that allows to display HTML content in its own native GUI window. It gives you power of web technologies in your desktop application, hiding the fact that GUI is browser based. You can use pywebview either with a lightweight web framework like Flask or Bottle or on its own with a two way bridge between Python and DOM. pywebview uses native GUI for creating a web component window: WinForms on Windows, Cocoa on macOS and QT or GTK on Linux. If you choose to freeze your application, pywebview does not bundle a heavy GUI toolkit or web renderer with it keeping the executable size small. pywebview is compatible with Python 3. -

Python ADB
Python ADB + Fastboot implementation
python-adb provides a pure-Python implementation of the Android Debug Bridge protocol so you can script Android devices without depending on the platform adb binary. It exposes high-level helpers for device discovery, shell commands, file push/pull, port forwarding, and log collection, making it easy to build automation around phones and emulators. Under the hood it speaks the ADB protocol directly and can connect via USB or over TCP, which is useful for lab setups and headless servers. Because it’s Python, you can compose device actions with your favorite testing, scraping, or data-collection libraries in one process. The project also includes utilities for robust connection handling and timeouts so flaky USB links don’t derail long runs. It’s well-suited to CI test farms, large-scale telemetry, and custom device control workflows. -

tqdm
A Fast, Extensible Progress Bar for Python and CLI
tqdm is a fast, extensible progress bar for Python and CLI that enables you to see the progress of your loops in a clear and smart way. Simply wrap any iterable with tqdm(iterable), and sit back and watch that progress meter go! tqdm can be wrapped around any iterable, or executed as a module with pipes. Just by inserting tqdm (or python -m tqdm) between pipes will pass through all stdin to stdout while printing progress to stderr. tqdm does not require any dependencies, has a very low overhead and uses smart algorithms to predict the remaining time and skip unnecessary iteration displays. It works on just about any platform, console or in a GUI, as well as IPython/Jupyter notebooks. -

OSCAL
Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL)
NIST is developing the Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL), a set of hierarchical, XML-, JSON-, and YAML-based formats that provide a standardized representation of information pertaining to the publication, implementation, and assessment of security controls. OSCAL is being developed through a collaborative approach with the public. Public contributions to this project are welcome. With this effort, we are stressing the agile development of a set of minimal formats that are generic enough to capture the breadth of data in scope (controls specifications), while also capable of ad-hoc tuning and extension to support peculiarities of both (industry or sector) standards and new control types. The OSCAL website provides an overview of the OSCAL project, including an XML and JSON schema reference, examples, and other resources. -
