internetofutils 0.1.0

A utility package with various things in it.

Internet of Utilities

Internet of Utilities (which will be shortented to IoU from now on) is a tool for a variety of utilities, including Roundbottom (or Rndb), a WIP flask extension and IDL, a very simple tool similar to wget.

Using Roundbottom

To make a simple roundbottom program, run the following code:

rndb = Rndb()
Rndb().run_app(torun=Rndb.helloworld)

# or, for all the arguments

rndb = Rndb()

rndb.run_app(host="localhost", port=8000, route="/")

compared to the longer

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)



@app.route('/')

def hello_world():

    return 'Hello, World!'
	

The Rndb.helloworld is an example program ran if no function to run was given, and is defined as:

def helloworld():

    return 'Hello, World!'
	

If you want to use a custom function that you defined, use the following:

def test123():

    return 'Hello, other world!'
	

rndb = Rndb()

rndb.run_app(host="localhost", port=8000, torun=test123, route="/")

Let's step through the program.

rndb = Rndb()
rndb.run_app(host="localhost", port=8000, torun=Rndb.helloworld, route="/")

rndb = Rndb() instantiates Roundbottom, for the use of run_app

rndb.run_app runs an application with the following arguments:

host="localhost" is used to define the host. For a local webserver, use localhost. For a repl-like website, (e.g. repl.it) use something like 0.0.0.0

port=8000 defines the port. You can have 8080, 8000, 6000, etc.

torun=Rndb.helloworld defines which function to run. In this case, it runs the example program Rndb.helloworld, which just does return "Hello, World".

route="/" simply puts @app.route(route) before the function you provided with torun.

Using IDL

IDL is a simple function with one argument using one library; urllib. The function is like idl(url). Replace url with a URL, and you will get the text content for the URL's page.
