Hey guys! It’s not a Python proyect yet, but…

I’ve been working on a system to turn what you already know into a structured digital product — without juggling a bunch of disconnected tools.

What I kept running into wasn’t a lack of effort.

It was that nothing actually held together.

You try things. They work for a bit. Then you switch, restart, or lose momentum.

So instead of adding more tools (or even more AI on top), I started focusing on how everything connects:

idea → offer → workflow → validation → iteration

The AI part is there, but more as infrastructure — not the main thing.

Still early, but that’s the direction I’ve been exploring.

Hi all! I wonder if anyone has made their own simple Python agent for MCP + Ollama + local LLM, or tried something from GitHub that works well? :)

I’m experimenting with local LLMs and want something lightweight instead of a big Electron app like Claude Code or similar apps.

the pandas vs polars benchmarks are all over the place because some people time just the computation and others include file I/O loading. makes comparing them basically useless unless you dig into exactly what each person was measuring. does anyone actually try to standardize this stuff or is it always just whatever setup the author felt like using

Been using Python for automation at work and honestly it just makes sense. Clean syntax, great libs, gets stuff done without the ceremony other languages need.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share Galactic Gomoku, a passion project of mine.

It's a Sci-Fi themed 15x15 Gomoku game where you play against a local AI.

Tech stack: Python 3.12, PySide6 for a responsive GUI, and a custom Minimax AI with Alpha-Beta pruning running on a separate QThread.

I used to write basic Gomoku games on the C64, so building a modern version with a clean architecture was a great challenge.

You can find the source code, gameplay video, and details here:

Any feedback on the AI evaluation logic or the PySide6 implementation is highly appreciated!

pyrich - Python background app that shows your live Binance Futures positions (open trades, asset changes, returns from closed trades) via Discord Rich Presence. Built it because I wanted a passive way to monitor my algo positions without keeping Binance web open.

It's a delight isn't it?
