Python utilities for my other packages

dobishem

My utility code, written to be useful for more than one specific project.

The name is Albanian for "useful"; there are so many packages called "utils", and I wrote the initial version of this code in Albania, so I picked a local name to make it easier to spot among all the "utils".

Contains I/O and file-based caching for a start.

storage

This provides:

• readers and writers for various formats, with particular attention to CSV, which it can arrange into lists, dictionaries and sets in ways that I have found useful. Also, some dispatch functions for using the appropriate reader and writer functions according to the filenames.

• storage handlers which build filenames from templates

• functions for applying functions to files, including acting conditionally according to the relative filestamps (makefile style)

tabular_text

Read and write org-mode files (see https://orgmode.org/)

data

Contains some support functions for tabular data.

nested_messages

Provides context handlers for indented messages, where each handler adds another level of indentation, which disappears when the handler exits.

dates

Normalization of dates, and some functions for going back or forward dates. I'll probably remove this sometime, as https://pypi.org/project/python-dateutil/ and https://pypi.org/project/dateutils/ already handle these.
