This repository is the community-maintained source for building good Python
products in the AI-coding era. It is not a website. Keep flypython.com
focused on presentation, discovery, and conversion; keep this repository
focused on practical guides, playbooks, runnable examples, reusable templates,
reviewed catalog data, and stable public JSON contracts.
- Prefer official documentation and primary sources.
- Keep first-party Python engineering and AI-coding guidance specific, testable, and honest about what automation can and cannot prove.
- Every catalog entry must include a stable ID, path, path-local order, source type, level, rationale, review date, status, and any key or safety requirements.
- Do not call a project production-ready without current maintenance, licensing, security, and adoption evidence.
- Do not use an LLM or web-search API to generate resource descriptions. Descriptions and classifications require human review.
- Keep English and Chinese website output generated from the same canonical resource data. Do not hand-copy catalog content into website source files.
- Keep paired English and Chinese first-party guides aligned in scope, version, review date, and factual meaning.
- Add first-party guides and playbooks to
content-manifest.json; keep each locale pair aligned and verify its source checksum. - Treat HTTP 403, 429, and transient 5xx responses as review-needed states, not automatic proof that a resource is broken.
- Work on a feature branch and preserve unrelated contributor changes.
- Run the repository validation workflow before committing.
- Regenerate
catalog.jsonafter source changes and verify it withpython tools/export_catalog.py --check. - Regenerate both README catalog indexes and verify them with
python tools/render_readmes.py --check. - Regenerate
content-manifest.jsonand verify it withpython tools/build_content_manifest.py --check. - Verify every runnable example with
python tools/verify_examples.py. - Website consumers must pin a full repository commit and verify the catalog checksum. Do not make production builds depend on a moving branch.
- Keep external-link checks read-only, rate-limited, retryable, and blocked from private or loopback network targets.
- Do not add API keys, tokens, analytics IDs, or generated reports to git.
- After merge, verify the immutable raw
catalog.json. Verify flypython.com only after a separate, deliberate consumer-version update.
- Content accuracy and source quality.
- Deterministic export and bilingual parity.
- Schema, consumer-contract, and safe link checks.
- Clear contribution and licensing boundaries.
