Audit Log
awesome-python is audited section by section. Every entry gets re-verified against live data, and every removal lands in a commit whose body carries the reason. Git history is the archive. This file is the at-a-glance register of maintainer decisions that a single commit can't show.
Overrides
CONTRIBUTING.md allows the maintainer to exceed any limit for a specific entry or use case. Each override is recorded here.
Naming Exceptions
Display names follow the canonical PyPI package name. These entries keep a different name by maintainer decision:
- autobahn-python --
autobahn. - django-rest-framework --
djangorestframework. - django-rules --
rules. - fasthtml --
python-fasthtml. - jinja --
Jinja2. - mem0 --
mem0ai. - pangu.py --
pangu. - playwright-python --
playwright. - pytorch --
torch. - strawberry --
strawberry-graphql. - strawberry-django --
strawberry-graphql-django.
Stability Exceptions
Entries admitted despite the Stable quality requirement, by maintainer decision:
- zensical -- admitted 2026-08-23 at version 0.0.57, PyPI classifier
Development Status :: 3 - Alpha, with no 1.0 target announced. Admitted as a challenger displacing mkdocs because the Documentation section was carrying a dying upstream: the Material for MkDocs team's announcement of 2025-11-05 put Material into maintenance mode for twelve months and called MkDocs itself unmaintained since 2024-08 and a supply chain risk. Re-check when 1.0 lands.
Mature-stable Keeps
These entries sit past the 12-month activity requirement without an override. Each one is kept by editorial judgment: mature, stable, and no successor exists.
