1. Polars — The Blazing-Fast DataFrame Library

Polars is a blazingly fast DataFrame library written in Rust for manipulating structured data.

Why You Should Use It: This is 10x–100x faster than Pandas. It Supports lazy evaluation for large datasets and works natively with Apache Arrow
Docs : https://docs.pola.rs/

Installation

pip install polars

Example

This is simple example to create a DataFrame using Polars:

import polars as pl 
import datetime as dt 
 
df = pl.DataFrame( 
    { 
        "name": ["Alice Archer", "Ben Brown", "Chloe Cooper", "Daniel Donovan"], 
        "birthdate": [ 
            dt.date(1997, 1, 10), 
            dt.date(1985, 2, 15), 
            dt.date(1983, 3, 22), 
            dt.date(1981, 4, 30), 
        ], 
        "weight": [57.9, 72.5, 53.6, 83.1],  # (kg) 
        "height": [1.56, 1.77, 1.65, 1.75],  # (m) 
    } 
) 
 
print(df)
shape: (4, 4)

2. Ruff — The Fastest Python formatter & Linter

Ruff is a blazing-fast linter written in Rust, designed to replace Flake8, Black, and isort in one tool.

Why You Should Use It: This is 20x faster than Flake8, supports auto-fixing issues and works as a formatter and linter
Docs : https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/

Installation

pip install ruff

Example

We can use uv to initialize a project:

uv init --lib demo

This command creates a Python project with the following structure:

demo 
  ├── README.md 
  ├── pyproject.toml 
  └── src 
      └── demo 
          ├── __init__.py 
          └── py.typed

We’ll then replace the contents of src/demo/__init__.py with the following code:

from typing import Iterable 
 
import os 
 
 
def sum_even_numbers(numbers: Iterable[int]) -> int: 
    """Given an iterable of integers, return the sum of all even numbers in the iterable.""" 
    return sum( 
        num for num in numbers 
        if num % 2 == 0 
    )

Next, we’ll add Ruff to our project:

uv add --dev ruff

We can then run the Ruff linter over our project via uv run ruff check:

$ uv run ruff check 
src/numbers/__init__.py:3:8: F401 [*] `os` imported but unused 
Found 1 error. 
[*] 1 fixable with the `--fix` option.

we can resolve the issue automatically by running ruff check --fix:

$ uv run ruff check --fix 
Found 1 error (1 fixed, 0 remaining).

3. PyScript — Run Python in the Browser

PyScript lets you write and execute Python code in the browser, similar to JavaScript.

Why You Should Use It: It enables Python-powered web apps, works directly in HTML and No backend needed!
Docs : https://docs.pyscript.net/2025.2.4/

Installation

We don’t need to install PyScript, instead of this simply add a <script> and link tag, to your HTML document's <head>

<!-- PyScript CSS --> 
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://pyscript.net/releases/2025.2.4/core.css"> 
<!-- This script tag bootstraps PyScript --> 
<script type="module" src="https://pyscript.net/releases/2025.2.4/core.js"></script>

Example

Create a simple .html file and user <py-script> tag write your python code.

<!doctype html> 
<html> 
    <head> 
        <!-- Recommended meta tags --> 
        <meta charset="UTF-8"> 
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0"> 
        <!-- PyScript CSS --> 
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://pyscript.net/releases/2025.2.4/core.css"> 
        <!-- This script tag bootstraps PyScript --> 
        <script type="module" src="https://pyscript.net/releases/2025.2.4/core.js"></script> 
    </head> 
    <body> 
        <!-- Now you can use <py-script> tag to write your python code inside--> 
        <py-script> 
          import sys 
          from pyscript import display 
           
          display(sys.version) 
        </py-script> 
    </body> 
</html>

    "column3": ["value_1", "value_2", "value_3", "value_2", "value_1"], 
}) 
 
# Define schema 
schema = pa.DataFrameSchema({ 
    "column1": pa.Column(int, checks=pa.Check.le(10)), 
    "column2": pa.Column(float, checks=pa.Check.lt(-1.2)), 
    "column3": pa.Column(str, checks=[ 
        pa.Check.str_startswith("value_"), 
        # define custom checks as functions that take a series as input and 
        # outputs a boolean or boolean Series 
        pa.Check(lambda s: s.str.split("_", expand=True).shape[1] == 2) 
    ]), 
}) 
 
validated_df = schema(df) 
print(validated_df)
column1  column2  column3 
0        1     -1.3  value_1 
1        4     -1.4  value_2 
2        0     -2.9  value_3 
3       10    -10.1  value_2

Docs : https://docs.llamaindex.ai/en/stable/#getting-started

Installation

pip install llama-index

Example

Let’s start with a simple example using an agent that can perform basic multiplication by calling a tool. Create a file called starter.py:

  • Set an environment variable called OPENAI_API_KEY with an OpenAI API key.
import asyncio 
from llama_index.core.agent.workflow import AgentWorkflow 
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI 
 
 
# Define a simple calculator tool 
def multiply(a: float, b: float) -> float: 
    """Useful for multiplying two numbers.""" 
    return a * b 
 
 
# Create an agent workflow with our calculator tool 
agent = AgentWorkflow.from_tools_or_functions( 
    [multiply], 
    llm=OpenAI(model="gpt-4o-mini"), 
    system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant that can multiply two numbers.", 
) 
 
 
async def main(): 
    # Run the agent 
    response = await agent.run("What is 1234 * 4567?") 
    print(str(response)) 
 
 
# Run the agent 
if __name__ == "__main__": 
    asyncio.run(main())
The result of \( 1234 \times 4567 \) is \( 5,678,678 \).
