The book is a thorough walk-through that is sure to get most anyone up and running creating research software with Python and is beneficial to any researcher or research student curious about the Python programming language and the shell.

[I will add more dashboards here as I (re)-discover them].

Arabic language library for Python, provides basic functions to manipulate Arabic letters and text

This little tool by Andrew Baumann is awesome for collating and working with highlights in PDF files.

It is a pip module, so easily installed, and works by producing Markdown (default) or JSON text file with the extracted annotations.

For example, to extract all annotations and highlight into a markdown file:

pdfannots -o annots.md iupac_gold_book.pdf

I have published an Ansible role that installs a Jupyter instance using JupyterHub and JupyterLab.

Quarto, by RStudio, sorry, Posit, a new scientific and technical publishing system.

Something to consider, especially if you are new to the field and aren't already invested in the earlier systems.
