The pyramid-scheduler package is a pyramid plugin that allows asynchronous and deferred task scheduling and management. It uses APScheduler for actual task management and Kombu for messaging between processes.

IMPORTANT: the pyramid-scheduler is very new, but fully functional. The following features are considered "beta", and should probably not be used in production:

Multiple queues. For now, just use a single queue (and thus you are limited to a single background process).
Intuitive sequence of job events. Currently, the events that can be listened to (from pyramid_scheduler.api.Event, such as JOB_CREATED, JOB_EXECUTED, JOB_CANCELED, and JOB_REMOVED) do not reliably fire in an intuitive order. For example, you may get a JOB_REMOVED event before the JOB_EXECUTED event for a deferred job.

To access and sync my Owncloud's calendar and contacts with my Android
phone in a (more-or-less) secure manner through HTTPS, I needed to get a
SSL/TLS certificate. Or precisely: a self-signed root CA (Certification
Authority) certificate.

After searching for Howtos and creating a bunch of CA certificates,
normal certificates, signing them, signing them vice-versa etc. -- yes,
I don't really have a clue -- I mostly run into one of these errors:

• when signing normal cert with CA cert: "not self-signed"
• when self-signing normal cert with itself: "no Basic Constraint CA flag"

Then I finally found (https://langui.sh/2009/01/18/openssl-self-signed-ca/)
this one-liner that does the job just fine::

$ openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -days 365 -x509 -nodes -out root.cer

Make sure to use the domain name you want to use this certificate on as
the Common Name (CN).

This creates a certificate file (named as defined in the -out parameter)
and a key file, named 'privkey.pem' in my case. I had to upload this to
in the admin interface of my shared hoster, and 5 minutes later the
certificate was installed and accepted by DAVDroid, the Android syncing
app.

Bokeh is a Python interactive visualization library that targets modern web browsers for presentation. Its goal is to provide elegant, concise construction of novel graphics in the style of D3.js, but also deliver this capability with high-performance interactivity over very large or streaming datasets. Bokeh can help anyone who would like to quickly and easily create interactive plots, dashboards, and data applications.

The Apache Tika™ toolkit detects and extracts metadata and text content from various documents - from PPT to CSV to PDF - using existing parser libraries. Tika unifies these parsers under a single interface to allow you to easily parse over a thousand different file types. Tika is useful for search engine indexing, content analysis, translation, and much more. You can find the latest release on the download page.

websockets is a library for developing WebSocket servers and clients in Python. It implements RFC 6455 with a focus on correctness and simplicity. It passes the Autobahn Testsuite.

Built on top on Python’s asynchronous I/O support introduced in PEP 3156, it provides an API based on coroutines, making it easy to write highly concurrent applications.

Schematics is a Python library to combine types into structures, validate them, and transform the shapes of your data based on simple descriptions.

The internals are similar to ORM type systems, but there is no database layer in Schematics. Instead, we believe that building a database layer is made significantly easier when Schematics handles everything but writing the query.

A general purpose real-time charting library for building beautiful, smooth, and high performance visualizations.
