Qualifications
There are a ton of great Python projects out there, but what makes an

[x] Free software with an online source repository.
[x] Using Python for a considerable part of their functionality.
[x] Well-known, or at least prominently used in an identifiable niche.
[x] Maintained or otherwise demonstrably still functional on relevant platforms.
Paperless helps automating archival of actual paper documents. It supports receiving documents via email (among others) so it integrates very well with scanners which can send scanned documents over the network. It runs OCR on the files, search titles, dates, support tags, and encrypts the file for secure storage. Great for personal usage, for storing sensitive documents. Desktop and CLI interfaces are developed by the community.
