Basic Python tools

cdxbasics

Collection of basic tools for Python development. Highlights are

• Generic(): object which operates both like a dictionary and like an object, e.g. one can write
      from cdxbasics import Generic
      g = Generic(a=1, b=2) # construction with nice keywords
      g.c = 3
      a = g.a
      a = g['a']
      d = g.get('d',None) # with default
      e = g('e',None) # with default
      del c
      del ....
• Logger: classic C++ style defensive programming VERIFY tools, e.g.
      from cdxbasics import Logger
      _log = Logger(__file__)
      _log.verify( a==1, "'a' is not one but %s", a)
      _log.warn_if( a!=1, "'a' was not one but %s", a)
  and other features.
• dctkwargs: tool to capture misspelled **kwargs.
  Use
       from cdxbasics import dctkwargs
       def f(**kwargs):
           kwargs = dctkwargs(kwargs)
           a = kwargs('a') # standard
           b = kwargs('b', None) # with default
           assert kwargs.isDone(), "Unknown keywords: %s" % str(kwargs)
• fmt(): integrated short cut
• uniqueHash(): runs a standard hash over most combinations of standard elements or objects
• plain(): converts most combinations of standards elements or objects into plain list/dict structures
