Overview

This software provides a library of miscellaneous utilities / recipes for generic computations with Python. It is relatively easy to extend and users are encouraged to tweak with it.

Most of the code is used in a number of projects where it is tested against real-life scenarios.

All the code is tested against the examples in the documentation (using doctest).

The code has reached a reasonable level of maturity. However, until it gets a wider adoption, some of the library components may undergo some refactoring in the process of improving the code. Changes will appear in the CHANGELOG.rst. Please file a bug report if you detect an undocumented refactoring.

Releases information are available through NEWS.rst.

For a more comprehensive list of changes see CHANGELOG.rst (automatically generated from the version control system).

Features

The package contains a number of generic functions like

  • multi_replace(): performs multiple replacements in a string.

  • flatten(): recursively flattens nested iterables, e.g. list of list of tuples to flat list).

  • uniques(): extract unique items from an iterable while keeping the order of appearance.

etc.

These are meant to run both in Python 3 and in PyPy. For this reason, dependencies to external modules are kept to a minimum. etc.

$ pip install flyingcircus
