ruffus
Ruffus is a computation pipeline library for python. It is open-sourced, powerful and user-friendly, and widely used in science and bioinformatics. Ruffus is designed to allow scientific and other analyses to be automated with the minimum of fuss and the least effort. Suitable for the simplest of tasks. Handles even fiendishly complicated pipelines which would cause make or scons to go cross-eyed and recursive. No "clever magic", no pre-processing. Unambitious, the lightweight syntax which tries to do this one small thing well. Ruffus is available under the permissive MIT free software license. This permits free use and inclusion even within proprietary software. It is good practice to run your pipeline in a temporary, “working” directory away from your original data. Ruffus is a lightweight python module for building computational pipelines. Ruffus requires Python 2.6 or higher or Python 3.0 or higher.

pygame
Pygame is a set of Python modules designed for writing video games. Pygame adds functionality on top of the excellent SDL library. This allows you to create fully featured games and multimedia programs in the python language. Pygame is highly portable and runs on nearly every platform and operating system. Pygame is free. Released under the LGPL license, you can create open-source, freeware, shareware, and commercial games with it. With dual-core CPUs common, and 8-core CPUs cheaply available on desktop systems, making use of multi-core CPUs allows you to do more in your game. Selected pygame functions release the dreaded python GIL, which is something you can do from C code. Uses optimized C and assembly code for core functions. C code is often 10-20 times faster than python code, and assembly code can easily be 100x or more times faster than python code. Comes with many operating systems. Just an apt-get, emerge, pkg_add, or just install away.

SQLite Data Access Components
Enjoy the highest performance and unlimited possibilities when working with SQLite. SQLite Data Access Components (LiteDAC) is a library of components that provides native connectivity to SQLite from Delphi and C++Builder including Community Edition, as well as Lazarus (and Free Pascal) on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android for both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. LiteDAC is designed for programmers to develop truly cross-platform desktop and mobile SQLite database applications with no need to deploy any additional libraries. LiteDAC-based DB applications are easy to deploy and do not require the installation of other data provider layers (such as BDE or ODBC), and that's why they can work faster than the ones based on standard Delphi data connectivity solutions. Moreover, LiteDAC provides an additional opportunity to work with SQLite in Delphi and C++Builder directly by linking the client library statically in your application.
