Michael #1: pysqlscribe

A Python library intended to make building SQL queries in your code a bit easier.
A Query object can be constructed using the QueryRegistry's get_builder featuring a dialect (e.g; "mysql", "postgres", "oracle").

Brian #2: A map of Python

Cool visualization of dependencies in PyPI packages
Even cooler visualization (linked from main article)

Interesting supply and demand comparisons from at least on source.

Brian #4: The features of Python's help() function

Trey Hunner
Don’t forget how useful and cool help() is.
