Utility functions and classes

Some utility functions and classes I use in many projects.

Note: This package does not follow the UNIX philosophy. (It does more than one thing). Though some modules might get moved to their own packages in the future, this is currently not planned.

logable

Module to ease logging efforts

Supports

• Using logging calls directly on instance

• Module logger

• Optional instance id

• Add method information to log

• Default logging config

In class Demo(Logable) you are able to use the logging calls directly (eg. self.debug(), self.warning(), self.exception(),..) to produce structured logging output like

DEBUG:Demo:working on something
INFO:Demo:Finished working
DEBUG:root:Inbetween
WARNING:Demo:Something might go wrong
ERROR:Demo:Something went wrong
WARNING:Demo:Told you!

The Logable class allows you to specify an id for an instance Demo({'id': "demo2"}) resulting in

DEBUG:Demo.demo2:working on something
INFO:Demo.demo2:Finished working
DEBUG:root:Inbetween
WARNING:Demo.demo2:Something might go wrong
ERROR:Demo.demo2:Something went wrong
WARNING:Demo.demo2:Told you!

Also supports method information:

2015-12-27 20:30:48 DEBUG   [Demo.demo2.work_on_something] working on something
2015-12-27 20:30:48 INFO    [Demo.demo2.work_on_something] Finished working
2015-12-27 20:30:48 DEBUG   [root] Inbetween
2015-12-27 20:30:48 WARNING [Demo.demo2.work_on_something_else] Something might go wrong
2015-12-27 20:30:48 ERROR   [Demo.demo2.work_on_something_else] Something went wrong
2015-12-27 20:30:48 WARNING [Demo.demo2.work_on_something_else] Told you!

For information on how to enable this, please have a look at logable.default_logging_config

loadable

Module to ease json(file) efforts

Supports

• loading/writing json both as string and file

• date, time and datetime types supported (saved and loaded as utc)

• class to load/save settings from/to file

Loadable is a child class of Logable, thus inheriting all logging capabilities.

To tell class Demo(Loadable) to create an instance from a settings file, just write Demo({'settings_file': "path/to/settings.json"}).

Settings provided in __init__() overwrite the ones set in the file.

runable

Module to ease starting/stoping of classes

Supports

• Startable (Class can be started start())

• Stopable (Class can be stopped stop())

• StartStopable (Startable() + Stopable())

• SignalStopWrapper (Listens for SIGTERM and SIGINT signals and stops the class)
