Onyros on the Ubuntu Forums gets a big gold smilie for pointing out a fantastic cache of extremely lightweight software, most of which is written in Python, if I am reading it right. That means just about anything with a working version of Python should be able to take advantage of them.
I have a rack of things that need to be done in the immediate future, but I’m looking forward to experimenting with weblink, Droopy and a couple of other things posted there. I have a feeling some of it might be great for cross-the-web transfers, or even just across-my-network transfers when other methods seem inappropriate.
In any case there’s enough stuff there to keep myself busy for at least a day, if not a whole weekend. If you find something fun and want to brag about it before I get the chance, please do.
Okay, Onyros, here it is: 😀
droopy looks cool for sure.
hey,
thanks, it’s brilliant. you should get a smile too for mentioning it! 😀
Haha, nice!
And you know what? I just found another one, I’m pretty sure you’ll like.
Scroll down on this one:

to where it mentions pyftpdlib. There’s a little script for a standalone FTP server, also in Python.
It also mentions the brilliant yet über simple Woof, which I used and loved previously.
It doesn’t get any better (and simpler) than this, so right back at ya: 🙂
Python has the potential to do for desktop and web utilites what PHP did for web sites.
Really flexible and a pleasure to work with. You will see more and more useful apps coming in the future.
