clevertools 1.2.1

Clevertools is a utility library providing practical tools for common workflows.

clevertools

clevertools is a compact Python utility library for everyday workflows like file I/O, masking sensitive values, runtime configuration, and logger setup.

What You Get

• simple text and binary file helpers
• JSON and TOML read/write helpers
• masking for tokens, secrets, IDs, and similar values
• global configuration for shared error behavior
• ready-to-use console and file logging
• lower-level logging utilities when you need more control

Quick Example

from clevertools import configure, configure_logger, mask, read_json, write_json

configure(
    error_mode="raise",
    logger_overrides={
        "level": "INFO",
        "console_enabled": True,
    },
)

logger = configure_logger(name="demo", use_colors=False)

payload = {
    "service": "billing",
    "token": mask("sk-demo-123456789", 4, 3),
}

write_json("tmp/config.json", payload)
loaded = read_json("tmp/config.json")

logger.info("Loaded config: %s", loaded)
