SEPModules 0.1.2.dev1

SEPModules provides a handful of modules to aid in speeding up the production of small or medium-sized scripts.

SEPModules

| Documentation

Python package providing basic modules and functionality for various common tasks.

---

The package includes four base modules:

• SEPMaths

  For mathematical operations, helper functions, and classes.

• SEPAlgebra

  Provides classes and functions for performing computations on algebraic structures.

• SEPIO

  Aids in IO tasks such as reading console line arguments and parameters.

• SEPLogger

  Provides logging functionality interfacing with the color printing features of SEPPrinting.

• SEPDecorators

  Contains miscellaneous function decorators.

• SEPPrinting

  Provides easy and quick implementations of console UI elements like graphs, progress bars, and colored console printing.

• SEPTeX

  Provides a Python wrapper API for constructing LaTeX documents in code.

Exmaple usages

SEPIO.ConsoleArguments

from SEPModules import SEPIO

# Pretend that the arguments "-h --verbosity 2" were passed to script
# for this example usage. In normal use 'sys.argv' would be automatically
# populated when the python script was started from the command line.
import sys
sys.argv = ["this_script_name", "-h", "--verbosity", "2"]

# instantiate object to hold arguments passed to this script
console_manager = SEPIO.ConsoleArguments(["h"], ["help", "verbosity="])

# print help message
if "h" in console_manager or "help" in console_manager:
    print("This is a help message... very helpful information goes here")

This is a help message... very helpful information goes here

# set a verbosity value based on what was passed after "--verbosity"
verbosity = 0 # default
if "verbosity" in console_manager:
    passed_verbosity = console_manager["verbosity"]
    
    # check if input is legal number
    if passed_verbosity not in ["0", "1", "2"]:
        print(f"'{passed_verbosity}' is not a valid verbosity value")
        sys.exit(1)
    
    verbosity = int(passed_verbosity) # get passed value

print(f"Verbosity was succesfully set to {verbosity}!")

Verbosity was succesfully set to 2!

SEPAlgebra

from SEPModules import SEPAlgebra

# create an algebraic structure and check if it is valid, i.e. closed
binary_and = SEPAlgebra.AlgebraicStructure({0, 1}, int.__mul__)

# this is a valid structure because it is closed
# bool(x) should amount to x.is_valid for all classes inheriting from AlgebraicStructure
print(f"is valid: {binary_and.is_valid()} \nbool alternative: {bool(binary_and)}")

is valid: True

bool alternative: True

# this structure is also commutative but since this is a general structure
# this function will return a list of boolean values for every operator
print(f"is commutative: {binary_and.is_commutative()}")

is commutative: [True]

# since it is commutative we might want to model it as monoid,
# which only takes one operator
binary_and = SEPAlgebra.Monoid({0, 1}, int.__mul__)

# this structure is still commutative but now the return value is simply one boolean
print(f"is commutative monoid: {binary_and.is_commutative()}")

is commutative monoid: True

# since a monoid needs to be a valid algebraic structure and commutative,
# we can also check if it is valid and expect this to be true
print(f"is a valid monoid: {binary_and.is_valid()}")

is a valid monoid: True

# but 0 does not have an inverse in this structure so
# the singleton 'NoElement' will be returned
print(f"inverse for 0: {binary_and.find_inverses(0)}")

inverse for 0: NoElement
