Christopher H. Todd's Python Library For General Tasks

The ctodd-python-lib-general project is responsible for general tasks that have not been put in specific libraries. Will basically be a dumping ground for one-off tasks that are repeatable but would not call for a specific lib that can be expanded.

Example Scripts

Example executable Python scripts/modules for testing and interacting with the library. These show example use-cases for the libraries and can be used as templates for developing with the libraries or to use as one-off development efforts.

Notes

• Relies on f-string notation, which is limited to Python3.6. A refactor to remove these could allow for development with Python3.0.x through 3.5.x

TODO

• Unittest framework in place, but lacking tests
