Updated on Apr 8, 2020

Earlier this week, I learned that I'll be working less on unmock-js and more our latest open-source namesake, Meeshkan. The main difference? Meeshkan is written in Python... which I've never used before 🙀

So I asked folks on Twitter for their favorite Python resources and gathered them into a little list (in no particular order). Enjoy!
