Qualifications

There are a ton of great Python projects out there, but what makes an
application "Awesome™"? Please check that all of the following criteria apply:

• [*] Free software with an online source repository.
• [*] Using Python for a considerable part of their functionality.
• [*] Well-known, or at least prominently used in an identifiable niche.
• [*] Maintained or otherwise demonstrably still functional on relevant platforms.
• [*] An application, not a library or framework.

Additional notability info

These two tools are used extremely intensively within Linkedin (hundreds of incidents per day) and were open sourced early 2017. A talk was given at Monitorama in PDX in 2017. Both seem to fall under the "Communication" category.

Hey Joe! These look great. Definitely fit the bill of applications. I'm a little torn as to whether they go under communication or if they're more dev.ops. The audience definitely seems developer-oriented. I'll get it added ASAP, and I'll probably revisit the whole topic tree and categorizations later, so it won't be set in stone :)

Thanks again!
