funcy 1.4

A fancy and practical functional tools

A collection of fancy functional tools focused on practicality.

Inspired by clojure, underscore and my own abstractions. Keep reading to get an overview or read the docs.

Works with Python 2.6+, 3.3+ and pypy.

Installation

pip install funcy

Overview

Just import stuff from funcy to make things happen:

from funcy import whatever, you, need

Merge collections of same type (works for dicts, sets, lists, tuples, iterators and even strings):

merge(coll1, coll2, coll3, ...)
join(colls)
merge_with(sum, dict1, dict2, ...)

Walk through collection, creating its transform (like map but preserves type):

walk(str.upper, {'a', 'b'})            # {'A', 'B'}
walk(reversed, {'a': 1, 'b': 2})       # {1: 'a', 2: 'b'}
walk_keys(double, {'a': 1, 'b': 2})    # {'aa': 1, 'bb': 2}
walk_values(inc, {'a': 1, 'b': 2})     # {'a': 2, 'b': 3}

Select a part of collection:

select(even, {1,2,3,10,20})                  # {2,10,20}
select(r'^a', ('a','b','ab','ba'))           # ('a','ab')
select_keys(callable, {str: '', None: None}) # {str: ''}
compact({2, None, 1, 0})                     # {1,2}

Manipulate sequences:

take(4, iterate(double, 1)) # [1, 2, 4, 8]
first(drop(3, count(10)))   # 13

remove(even, [1, 2, 3])     # [1, 3]
concat([1, 2], [5, 6])      # [1, 2, 5, 6]
cat(map(range, range(4)))   # [0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 2]
mapcat(range, range(4))     # same
flatten(nested_structure)   # flat_list
distinct('abacbdd')         # list('abcd')

split(odd, range(5))        # ([1, 3], [0, 2, 4])
split_at(2, range(5))       # ([0, 1], [2, 3, 4])
group_by(mod3, range(5))    # {0: [0, 3], 1: [1, 4], 2: [2]}

partition(2, range(5))      # [[0, 1], [2, 3]]
chunks(2, range(5))         # [[0, 1], [2, 3], [4]]
pairwise(range(5))          # iter: [0, 1], [1, 2], ...

And functions:

partial(add, 1)             # inc
curry(add)(1)(2)            # 3
compose(inc, double)(10)    # 21
complement(even)            # odd
all_fn(isa(int), even)      # is_even_int

Create decorators easily:

@decorator
def log(call):
    print call._func.__name__, call._args
    return call()

Abstract control flow:

walk_values(silent(int), {'a': '1', 'b': 'no'})
# => {'a': 1, 'b': None}

@once
def initialize():
    "..."

with suppress(OSError):
    os.remove('some.file')

@ignore(ErrorRateExceeded)
@limit_error_rate(fails=5, timeout=60)
@retry(tries=2, errors=(HttpError, ServiceDown))
def some_unreliable_action(...):
    "..."

class MyUser(AbstractBaseUser):
    @cached_property
    def public_phones(self):
        return self.phones.filter(public=True)

Ease debugging:

squares = {tap(x, 'x'): tap(x * x, 'x^2') for x in [3, 4]}
# x: 3
# x^2: 9
# ...

@print_exits
def some_func(...):
    "..."

@log_calls(log.info, errors=False)
@log_errors(log.exception)
def some_suspicious_function(...):
    "..."

And much more.
