hyperp 1.0.14

Hyper charge your productivity

Hyperp - hyper productive utility functions for Python

Hyperp is a small utility library designed to simplify everyday coding tasks.
It embraces safe defaults over exceptions — for example, read() returns a default value if the file can't be read, helping you gracefully handle edge cases without extra boilerplate.

Purpose

I run a software consultancy where we build products for clients and internal projects.
To stay Hyper Productive (hence "hyperp"), I created this library to streamline development and encourage safer patterns.
It also helps my team write more robust code with minimal effort.
