For the past year, we’ve compared nearly 15,000 open source Python projects to pick Top 30 (0.2% chance).This is an extremely competitive list and it carefully picks the best open source Python libraries, tools and programs published between January and December 2017. Mybridge AI evaluates the quality by considering popularity, engagement and recency. To give you an idea about the quality, the average number of Github stars is 3,707.Open source projects can be useful for programmers. You can learn by reading the source code and build something on top of the existing projects. Give a plenty of time to play around with Python projects you may have missed for the past year.<Recommended Learning>A) BeginnerThe Python Bible: Build 11 Projects and Go from Beginner to Pro[27,672 recommends, 4.7/5 stars]B) Data SciencePython for Data Science and Machine Learning Bootcamp: Use NumPy, Pandas, Seaborn , Matplotlib , Plotly[90,212 recommends, 4.6/5 stars](Click the numbers below.
