el-std-py

el-std-py is an assortment of useful python utilities complementing some builtin and third party python packages.

Disclaimer

1. I mainly develop this library for my own use use, and while I do thing that it might be useful to others, there is no guarantee that features work as expected and I may introduce breaking changes to APIs at any time.
2. While the el-std-py is namely related to my el-std-cpp library, the two are not related in any way content-wise and there is no promise of feature parity whatsoever. Both libraries are simply utility libraries for the respective languages with features I commonly use in them. They are otherwise independent.

Versions

I am currently targeting Python 3.12 for this library. Although some things might work in earlier versions, there is no guarantee, and I will not refrain from using the latest python features.

Features and Documentation

While I might write more comprehensive documentation for some features along the way, I will at least try to maintain an up-to-date list of all available features:

(when reading from PyPi, some links might not work. View on GitHub for full documentation)

• el.async_tools: Utility functions for working with asyncio
• el.errors: More exception types for general errors I have encountered to need often. Some of them are used by el.
• el.terminal: Terminal controller enabling an asynchronous command interface and a color-coded logging configuration that is a good stating point and pushes logs to stdout without disturbing the user command line.
• el.timers: Async timer classes such as IntervalTimer and WDTimer for use with asyncio
• el.typing_tools: Utility functions for working with typing
• el.observable: Data wrapper classes allowing the observation and chaining of value change events and thus declaratively defining data paths
• el.datastore: Zero-setup Data and configuration file handler that uses pydantic do define data models and asyncio to automatically store/load them to/from disc in the background without having to touch filepaths or files.
• el.bindantic: An unofficial "extension" (one could call it a "mod") for pydantic that adds support for defining, dumping and validating binary data structures (like in C), while maintaining all pydantic features.

Despite all these disclaimers, if you have utilities, changes, fixes, etc. that you think might be nice to include here, feel free to create issues/PRs.
