abstract-essentials 0.0.0.11

The lean, dependency-free core of abstract_utilities: stdlib-only helpers (json/path/file/string/list/log) safe to import anywhere, including Termux/phone.

abstract_essentials

The lean, dependency-free core carved out of abstract_utilities.

Every symbol here depends only on the Python standard library — no third-party imports, no from .imports import * chains, no submodule fan-out. It imports fast and installs anywhere (desktop, server, Termux/Android phone), which makes it a safe foundation for the rest of the abstract_* tree to build on without dragging in the monolith.

Why this exists

abstract_utilities is imported by nearly every abstract_* package, so its size and entanglement (star-exports across a dozen submodules) ripple everywhere. abstract_essentials is the ~50-function subset that is actually used in practice, extracted as a clean, explicit API.

Install

pip install abstract_essentials

Use

from abstract_essentials import make_list, get_any_value, safe_read_from_json, get_logFile

The public API is whatever is listed in abstract_essentials.__all__ (53 symbols: json/path/file/string/list/type/log helpers).

Migrating off abstract_utilities

abstract_utilities can become a thin compatibility shim that re-exports from here (see abstract_utilities_compat_shim.py shipped alongside this scaffold), so existing from abstract_utilities import X keeps working while new code imports from abstract_essentials.
