bsutils: Basic Python Utilities

A collection of basic Python utilities designed to simplify common tasks.

Installation

# Install using pip.
pip install bsutils

# Install using pipx.
pipx install bsutils

# Install using uv.
uv pip install bsutils

Features

Json Utilities (bsutils.json)

Utilities for working with JSON and JSONL files.

Features:

• get_item_num: Get the number of items in a JSON or JSONL file.
• iter_json_file: Iterate over a JSON or a JSONL file.
• load_json_file: Load a JSON or JSONL file.
• jsonl_to_json: Convert a JSONL file to a JSON file.
• json_to_jsonl: Convert a JSON file to a JSONL file.
• write_json_file: Write a JSON or JSONL file.

Example Usage:

from bsutils.json import load_json_file

data = load_json_file("example.json")
print(data)

for item in iter_json_file("example.jsonl"):
    print(item)

---

File Utilities (bsutils.file)

Utilities for working with file paths.

Features:

• pure_file_name: Get the pure file name from a path, e.g., "document" for "/path/to/document.pdf".

Example Usage:

from bsutils.file import pure_file_name

file_name = pure_file_name("/path/to/document.pdf")
print(file_name)  # Output: "document"

---

Result (bsutils.result)

Use Result to handle function results without raising exceptions, inspired by result.

Features:

• Result: A class to encapsulate the result of a function and handle exceptions.
• Ok: Represents a successful function result.
• Err: Represents an error or exception.

Example Usage:

from bsutils.result import Result, Ok, Err

def divide(a, b):
    if b == 0:
        return Err("Division by zero")
    return Ok(a / b)

result = divide(10, 2)
if result.is_ok():
    print("Success:", result.value)
elif result.is_err():
    print("Error:", result.error)

---

Option (bsutils.option)

Use Option to represent variables that may or may not contain values, avoiding None and Any.

Features:

• Option: A class to represent optional values.
• Some: Represents a variable that contains a value.
• None: Represents the absence of a value.

Example Usage:

from bsutils.option import Option, Some, Null

value = Some(42)
if value.is_some():
    print("Value exists:", value.value)
else:
    print("No value")

null_value = Null()
print(null_value.is_null())  # Output: True

---

Iterator (bsutils.iterator)

A generic Iterator class for performing operations on iterable objects.

Features:

• collect: Collect elements from the iterator into a specified container type (e.g., list, set).
• join: Join all elements in the iterator using a specified operation (e.g., addition, multiplication).
• map: Apply a mapping function to each element in the iterator and return a new iterator.
• filter: Filter elements in the iterator based on a specified condition and return a new iterator.
• copy: Create a copy of the current iterator.

Example Usage:

from bsutils.iterator import Iterator

it = Iterator(range(1, 10))
print("List Collect:", it.copy().collect())  # Collect elements into a list
print("Set Collect:", it.copy().collect(set))  # Collect elements into a set
print("Add Join:", it.copy().join())  # Join elements using addition
print("Mul Join:", it.copy().join(mul))  # Join elements using multiplication
print("Map:", it.copy().map(lambda x: x * x).collect())  # Map elements to their squares
print("Filter:", it.copy().filter(lambda x: x % 2 == 0).collect())  # Filter even numbers

---

IO (bsutils.io)

The IO module provides utilities for capturing standard output (stdout) and standard error (stderr) using the OutputCatcher class.

Features:

• OutputCatcher: A context manager for capturing stdout and stderr.
• write(data): Writes data to the stdout buffer.
• get_stdout(): Retrieves the captured stdout as a string.
• get_stderr(): Retrieves the captured stderr as a string.

Example Usage:

from bsutils.io import OutputCapturer

with OutputCapturer() as capturer:
    print("Hello world!")
    print("This goes to stdout")
    import sys
    sys.stderr.write("This goes to stderr\n")

# Get the captured stdout
output = capturer.get_stdout()
print("Captured output:")
print(output)

# Get the captured stderr
error = capturer.get_stderr()
print("Captured error:")
print(error)
