extratools 0.7

130+ extra higher-level functional tools beyond standard and third-Party libraries.

Featured on GitHub's Trending Python repos on May 25, 2018. Thank you so much for support!

130+ extra higher-level functional tools that go beyond standard library's itertools, functools, etc. and popular third-party libraries like toolz, fancy, and more-itertools.

• Like toolz and others, most of the tools are designed to be efficient, pure, and lazy. Several useful yet non-functional tools are also included.

• While toolz and others target basic scenarios, this library targets more advanced and higher-level scenarios.

• A few useful CLI tools for respective functions are also installed. They are available as extratools-[func].

Full documentation is available here.

Current Progress and Future Plans

There are currently 120+ functions among 14 categories, 3 data structures, and 3 CLI tools.

• Currently adopted by TopSim and PrefixSpan-py.

This library is under active development, and new tools are added on weekly basis.

• Any idea or contribution is highly welcome.

Besides many other interesting ideas, I am planning to make the following updates in recent days/weeks/months.

• Add dicttools.unflatten and jsontools.unflatten.

• Add trie and suffixtree (according to generalized suffix tree).

• Update seqtools.commonsubseq, seqtools.commonsubseqwithgap, seqtools.align, and strtools.commonsubstr to support more than two sequences/strings.

Index of Available Tools

• Functions: debugtools dicttools jsontools mathtools misctools printtools rangetools recttools seqtools settools sortedtools stattools strtools tabletools

• Data Structures: defaultlist disjointsets segmenttree

• CLI Tools: dicttools.remap jsontools.flatten stattools.teststats

Examples

Here are a few examples out of hundreds of our tools.

• seqtools.compress(data, key=None) compresses the sequence data by encoding continuous identical items to a tuple of item and count, according to run-length encoding.

from extratools.seqtools import compress

list(compress([1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4]))
# [(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4)]

• rangetools.gaps(covered, whole=(-inf, inf)) computes the uncovered ranges of the whole range whole, given the covered ranges covered.

from math import inf
from extratools.rangetools import gaps

list(gaps(
    [(-inf, 0), (0.1, 0.2), (0.5, 0.7), (0.6, 0.9)],
    (0, 1)
))
# [(0, 0.1), (0.2, 0.5), (0.9, 1)]

• jsontools.flatten(data, force=False) flattens a JSON object by all the tuples, each with a path and the respective value.

import json
from extratools.jsontools import flatten

flatten(json.loads("""{
  "name": "John",
  "address": {
    "streetAddress": "21 2nd Street",
    "city": "New York"
  },
  "phoneNumbers": [
    {
      "type": "home",
      "number": "212 555-1234"
    },
    {
      "type": "office",
      "number": "646 555-4567"
    }
  ],
  "children": [],
  "spouse": null
}"""))
# {'name': 'John',
#  'address.streetAddress': '21 2nd Street',
#  'address.city': 'New York',
#  'phoneNumbers[0].type': 'home',
#  'phoneNumbers[0].number': '212 555-1234',
#  'phoneNumbers[1].type': 'office',
#  'phoneNumbers[1].number': '646 555-4567',
#  'children': [],
#  'spouse': None}

strtools.learnrewrite(src, dst, minlen=3) learns the respective regular expression and template to rewrite src to dst.

from extratools.strtools import learnrewrite

learnrewrite(
    "Elisa likes icecream.",
    "icecream is Elisa's favorite."
)
# ('(.*) likes (.*).',
#  "{1} is {0}'s favorite.")

tabletools.parsebymarkdown(text) parses a text of multiple lines to a table, according to Markdown format.

from extratools.tabletools import parsebymarkdown

list(parsebymarkdown("""
| foo | bar |
| --- | --- |
| baz | bim |
"""))
# [['foo', 'bar'],
#  ['baz', 'bim']]
