Here are MCP related samples:

• mcp-python-demo: Minimal FastMCP local server over STDIO
• python-mcp-starlette-client-server: FastMCP server on Starlette over HTTP Streamable
• mcp-sdk-functions-hosting-python: FastMCP server that can be deployed to Azure Functions+APIM

Here are some non-Azure Python templates that you can open in a devcontainer/Codespaces:

• python-project-template: Support for black, isort, ruff, pre-commit, pytest, and Github actions
• ollama-python-playground: Support for Ollama and Python OpenAI SDK for running SLMs
• sqlalchemy-sqlite-playground: Dev Container with SQLAlchemy package, SQLTools extension
• postgresql-playground: Similar to the SQLite playground, but includes local PostgreSQL setup in Dev Container
• pgvector-playground: Dev Container with PostgreSQL, pgvector extension, and multiple pgvector Python examples
• python-3.10-playground: A simple 3.10 Dev Container
• python-3.11-playground: Ditto, for 3.11
• python-3.12-playground: Ditto, for 3.12
• python-3.13-playground: Ditto, for 3.13

Here are some educational tools I've built with Pyodide (in-browser Python):

• python-code-element: A custom HTML element for editing Python code, used throughout proficientpython.com.
• faded-parsons-static: Drag-and-drop style programming problems.
• recursive-visualizations: Visualize recursive Python function call graphs using Graphviz.
• dis-this: Disassemble Python code in the browser.

I've also done a lot of frontend work. My most popular frontend repositories:

• lscache: A library for localStorage with a memcache-inspired API.
• font-previewer-extension: A Chrome extension to preview Google fonts.
• chrome-cards: A series of Chrome extensions with flash cards, based on the Leitner system.
• parallel-demo: A demonstration of parallel programming in the browser using web workers.
