Detect Python in any GitHub repo

Python is a general-purpose language dominant in data science, machine learning, scripting and backend web development.

Why show Python on your README

Stack Fingerprint reads requirements.txt, pyproject.toml and Pipfile, so a Python card also shows the framework, package manager (pip, Poetry, uv) and ML libraries.

How Python is detected

Stack Fingerprint reads the repo's full file tree in one GitHub API call and flags Python when it finds any of these:

  • Files or folders: pyproject.toml, setup.py, setup.cfg, requirements.txt, requirements-dev.txt, requirements-prod.txt, Pipfile
  • File extensions: .py

Python README badge

A static badge you can paste anywhere in Markdown:

Or let the repo describe itself

Static badges go stale the moment you swap a dependency. A Stack Fingerprint card is generated from the repo, so Python (and everything around it) appears or disappears on its own:

Replace OWNER/REPO with your repository, or open the builder to pick a theme and layout.
