influence 0.6

A utility package for python containing two sub-packages that 1. extend python, and 2. add to python

Influence - The Python Extender You Asked For

---

With influence you can extend python with things like two-dimensional lists, fractions, string

subtractors, etc. You can also upgrade python with things it doesn’t have like arrays!

Overview

---

The influence python library was created with one sole purpose, helping you do things that can’t be

done in standard python with ease

• Extender Library: Sub-package of influence that extends things that are already in python, such

  as lists, strings, and doing math

• Upgrader Library: Sub-package of influence that adds things to python that it doesn’t have

  already, like arrays

Usage

---

Below is how to install and use the influence library in your own programs!

Installation

---

$ pip install influence

or

$ python3 -m pip install -U influence

The influence package has two package dependencies, numpy and matplotlib (used for grapher and

agrapher classes)

Extender Library

---

The influence subpackage that extends python’s built-in features

Cout

---

Cout (common output) has only one module, printer, that helps print tuples, lists, dicts, etc.

nicely

Importing:

from influence.extender.cout import printer

#or

from influence.extender.cout.printer import Printer

Printer Class

---

Methods:

Printer.print_list(list) #prints a list nicely

Printer.print_tuple(tuple) #prints a tuple nicely

Printer.print_dictionary(dict) #prints a dict nicely

Printer.print_all(ender, *items)

#prints all of items, if ender is False, prints each item on new line

#else all items are printed on the same line

List

---

List extends python’s built-in lists by adding multidimensional lists and other list extenders

List2D Class

---

Creates a 2D list of a square size

Importing:

from influence.extender.list import multilist

#or

from influence.extender.list.multilist import List2D

Initializing:

l = List2D(rows, cols)

#creates the list to have rows number of rows and cols number of cols

Methods:

l.set(r_index, c_index, item)

#sets value at r_index and c_index to item

#returns true if able to set, false if index out of bounds

l.get(r_index, c_index)

#returns value at r_index and c_index

#returns None if index out of bounds

l.print()

#prints the list

l.remove(r_index, c_index)

#removes the value at r_index and c_index

#returns true if removed, false if index out of bounds

item in l

#returns true if item in l, false otherwise

l.find(item)

#returns indices of item if found in list

#returns [-1] otherwise

RaggedList Class

---

Creates a 2D list, but doesn’t need to be of n x n size, inherits from List2D, and therefore has a

dependency to influence.extender.list.multilist

Importing:

from influence.extender.list import ragged

#or

from influence.extender.list.ragged import RaggedList

Initializing:

r = RaggedList(rows=1, cols=1)

#creates a ragged list starting with rows rows and cols cols

#defaults to one for both if no arguments are given

Methods:

r.print()

#prints the ragged list

r.in_bounds(r_index, c_index)

#returns true if r_index and c_index are in bounds of the list

#returns false otherwise

r.set(r_index, c_index, item)

#sets value at r_index and c_index to item if in bounds

#else extends the ragged list so r_index and c_index are in bounds

r.get(r_index, c_index)

#returns value at r_index and c_index if in bounds

#else returns None

item in r

#returns true if item is in r, else returns false

r.find(item)

#returns the indices of item if in r

#else returns [-1]

AsList Class
