spaCy - yet another python library for text processing? maybe, haven't tried it but seems like another tool taking part in this growing world. I'm looking for a package that will do a good job on short texts such as tweets and so on.

Moto - not what you thought.. not a short from automotive but mocking +boto. "A library that allows your python tests to easily mock out the boto library". Looks very neat but still has some way to go.

Self hell - elegance in code although I'm not sure how efficient it is.
