influence 1.1a2

A utility package influenced by java, coded in 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

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)

Cout

---

Cout (common output) has only one class, printer, that helps print

tuples, lists, dicts, etc. nicely

Importing:

from influence import cout

#or

from influence.cout 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

Cin

‘’’

Cin (common input), has one class, input, that handles input

specifically

Importing:

from influence import cin

#or

from influence.cin import Input

Input Class

Methods:

value = Input.input(t, prompt=None)

#stores input into value

#prompt will be printed, defaults to None

#raises ValueError if input does not match type t

#raises TypeError if t not able to be casted from input

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.list import multilist

#or

from influence.list.multilist import List2D

Initializing:

l = List2D(rows=1, cols=1)

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

Methods:

l[r_index][c_index] = item

#sets value at r_index and c_index to item

#raises IndexError if index out of bounds

l[r_index].append(item)

#since this is a list, if you wish to append the list

#you can do it this way instead of settings

l[r_index][c_index]

#returns value at r_index and c_index

#raises IndexError 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.index(item)

#returns indices of item if found in list

#returns [-1] otherwise

l.__len__() / len(l)

#returns the length of l

l.__str__() / str(l)

#returns l as a str

l.__delitem__(key) / del l[key]

#deletes row key from l

#raises IndexError if key out of bounds

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.list import ragged

#or

from influence.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.index(item)

#returns the indices of item if in r

#else returns [-1]

r.__len__() / len(r)

#returns the length of r

AsList Class

#or

from influence.list.aslist import AsList

Methods:

AsList.character_list(string)
