cleverutils
1. OVERVIEW
Some handy Python utilities and code snippets (beginner to intermediate level) used so often by the author that he took the time to package them up and share on Github/PyPI. Hopefully they might be of use to other Pythonistas somehwere, some time...
2. INSTALLATION
pip install cleverutils
3. BASIC USE
To access the main Session/Login/Scraper classes:
>>> from cleverutils import CleverSession, Login_to
>>> cs = CleverSession(echo=True)
>>> cs.start()
To access individual functions in clevergui:
>>> from cleverutils import start_gui, button_menu, text_input, get_folder, progress_bar
start_gui, button_menu, and text_input are simply wrappers around frequently used PySimpleGUI functions using a predefined "house style".
4. UNDER THE BONNET
Uses selenium for webbrowser automation and scraping, PySimpleGUI for nice, simple input prompts(*) and keyring for getting/setting credentials. Uses cleverdict for general data management and its handy auto-save/JSON features.
chomedriver.exe is included in this repository but you can replace with the latest selenium web-driver for your preferred browser. Please see selenium docs/tutorials widely available elsewhere.
5. CONTRIBUTING
Hopefully cleverutils will be of interest to people getting started with selenium and web scraping generally or working with Github, Twitter etc. and not wanting to use their API. cleverutils isn't super elegant or even PEP8 compliant, but does solve simple web scraping challenges quickly, understandably, and extensibly.
Contact Peter Fison peter@southwestlondon.tv or feel free to raise Pull Requests / Issue in the normal Github way.
6. PAYING IT FORWARD
If cleverutils helps you save time and focus on more important things, please feel free to to show your appreciation by starring the repository on Github.
I'd also be delighted if you wanted to:
