Introduction

Iris is a general-purpose, object-oriented and open source library for Python 3.

Modules

All the modules reside within the info.gianlucacosta.iris package and subpackages.

In particular:

• ioc, featuring a simple IoC container, that supports transient and singleton objects out of the box and can be extended via OOP by introducing new registration kinds

• versioning, introducing a Version class and a VersionDirectory, that, for example, can return the file having the latest version in a directory

• maven, dealing with MavenArtifact (which describes the Maven properties of an artifact) and MavenRepository, to query a Maven repository using the concepts introduced in the versioning module

• rendering abstracts the templating process by providing a Model class that can be easily reused with different rendering technologies

• vars enables developers to create boolean variables (instances of Flag) whose value depends on the existence of underlying files - which can be useful in some situations where multiple technologies are involved

• io.utils, contains generic I/O utilities

• io.tree defines objects for operating on file trees

Installation

Iris can be installed via pip:

pip install info.gianlucacosta.iris
