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:

• [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.
• [X] An application, not a library or framework.

Note that installability via pip/PyPI and a developer-audience focus may warrant a higher standard for inclusion, in keeping with the spirit of the list: http://sedimental.org/awesome_python_applications.html

Additional notability info

• The nikola static site generator on this awesome list uses it for builds.

I was on the fence with this one. It's kind of a cool simplified build tool, but even for a basic example requires a significant level of Python coding. Then again, this is true of other build tools as well. Nikola's usage isn't really compelling because that's verging on library territory. Only through searching around and finding a few blog posts did I determine it deserves a place on the list. Might even give it a try myself! Thanks again!

You're right, I hesitated before nominating it. My reasoning was that since buildout was on the list, this could also qualify. Then again, the configuration file for doit is programmatic rather than declarative.

Curation is tough business. Thanks for the time and effort you put into it.
