openforge 0.20260727.1

A public repository and museum for high-quality, reinvented machine learning modules and core computing algorithms.

OpenForge

Welcome to OpenForge! This is a public Python library built for developers who love to build things from scratch.

Have you ever spent days coding a custom Linear Regression algorithm, a unique Markov Chain module, or a custom game engine just to learn how it works under the hood? You can't merge it into major libraries like Scikit-Learn because they already have it—but your hard work shouldn't be wasted.

This library is a museum of reinvented wheels. It is a place to publish your custom-built modules, showcase your engineering grit, and leave your permanent mark on the open-source world.

🛠️ How It Works (The Import Layout)

To prevent anyone's code from overwriting someone else's, every single developer gets their own isolated username space. Users can import your exact code using this clean layout:

# If your username is 'alex' and you built a tictactoe bot
from artisan_wheelhouse.alex import infinite_tictactoe

# If your username is 'sarah' and you organized your ML modules
from artisan_wheelhouse.sarah.ml.supervised import linear_regression

📜 The Rules for Publishing

Anyone is welcome to contribute! To keep the library clean, functional, and organized, all submissions must follow these simple rules:

1. Anyone Can Publish: Whether you are a computer science student or a senior engineer, if you built something from scratch to learn, you can submit it.
2. Unique Usernames: Your username folder must be completely unique. Once a username is taken, it belongs to that developer.
3. Username Format: Your username folder name must be all lowercase and contain no spaces (use underscores if needed, e.g., john_doe). It must be a valid Python identifier.
4. Strict Boundaries: You can only add or modify files inside your own specific username folder. Touching or modifying another user's folder will result in immediate rejection.
5. The __init__.py Requirement: Every folder and sub-folder you create inside your namespace must contain an __init__.py file so Python can find and import your modules correctly.
6. Honest & Working Code: Your module must do exactly what it claims to do. It will be carefully reviewed. If it contains game-breaking bugs, malicious code, or does not work as advertised, it will be rejected.
7. Keep Dependencies Low: Try to use vanilla Python or basic standard libraries. If your module requires heavy external packages, explain why in your pull request.

🚀 How to Submit Your Module

1. Fork the repository on GitHub.
2. Create your unique username folder under artisan_wheelhouse/ (e.g., artisan_wheelhouse/your_username/).
3. Add an empty __init__.py file inside your folder.
4. Write your beautiful code, organize it into categories if you like, and include a short docstring explaining how to use it.
5. Open a Pull Request (PR). Once reviewed and merged, your code will be bundled into the next official PyPI release for everyone to pip install!

Let's build, reinvent, and leave a mark!
