5.1. Python packages¶
This page contains information about all the Python packages that are used somewhere in the TQ website. Please keep the information up to date and extend it as new features are added. This makes it easier for newcomers to understand what is going on in the project.
Keep in mind that if the person who implemented a feature is not available anymore, this page is the only reliable source of information about the dependencies.
