Examples

Generate a password

from ExtraFunctions import PasswordGenerator

password = PasswordGenerator(20)

print(password)

Create a progress bar

from ExtraFunctions import DrawProgressBar, UpdateProgressBar
import time

DrawProgressBar(0)

for i in range(101):
    UpdateProgressBar(i)
    time.sleep(0.05)

print()

Slowly print text

from ExtraFunctions import SlowWrite

SlowWrite("Hello, World!", 0.1)

Random choices

from ExtraFunctions import RandomChoice

planets = ["Mercury", "Venus", "Earth", "Mars"]

print(RandomChoice(planets, 2))

Errors

ExtraFunctions includes several custom errors:

• UknownFormatError
• SaveError
• InfiniteError
• NonexistentPlanetError

Notes

ExtraFunctions is an independent Python project that is continually being expanded with new functions and utilities. - Also, try find the secret function!!!

More features may be added in future updates.
