General utility modules that supply commonly-used functionality

Project description

Overview

jaraco.util contains a number of nominally useful, reusable classes and functions. They’re designed to be intuitively named and self-documenting (many with extensive doctests). Browse the source for details.

Highlights

Some of the more interesting modules include:

  • .dictlib contains RangeMap, a dictionary-like object that maps a range of values to a given value.

Docs

The project is documented with runnable tests.

Status and License

jaraco.util provides miscellaneous utility functions used across projects developed by the author.

jaraco.util is written by Jason R. Coombs. It is licensed under an MIT-style permissive license.

You can install it with easy_install jaraco.util, or grab the code from the mercurial repository.

Changes

10.7.1

  • Fix tempora.calculate_prorate on Python 3.

10.7

  • Added methods to jaraco.util.WordSet.

10.6

  • Added dictlib.Enumeration.

10.5

  • Moved functionality from words function to WordSet.parse. words retained for compatibility.

10.4

  • WordSet and words results can now be readily sliced.

10.3

  • Add classproperty to properties module.

10.2

  • Moved jaraco.util.timing into its own package under jaraco.timing and deprecated the module in this package.

10.1

  • Added meta.TagRegistered.

10.0.2

  • Restore itertools.one, unintentionally removed in 10.0.

10.0.1

  • Restore Python 2 compatibility.

10.0

  • Removed several itertools recipes now obviated by more-itertools (recipes and more):

    • grouper -> recipes.grouper

    • grouper_nofill -> more.chunked (note parameters are switched)

    • chain -> itertools.chain.from_iterable

    The following can now be found in more_itertools.recipes:

    • pairwise

    • consume

    • roundrobin

    • unique_justseen

    • unique_everseen

  • Add logging.setup_requests_logging, following the pattern document at StackOverflow.

9.0.1

  • Apply fix in 8.9.1 to 9.0.

9.0

  • itertools.one() now always raises a ValueError and never a StopIteration.

8.9.1

  • Use six for callable in NonDataProperty, restoring Python 3.1 compatibility.

8.9

  • Added KeyTransformingDict.matching_key_for, allowing the original key to be returned.

8.8

  • Added context.ExceptionTrap.

8.7

  • Removed dependency links for six.

8.6

  • Added collections module with an Everything collection.

8.5

  • Added ui.countdown function.

8.4

  • cmdline.Command now exposes an invoke class method to facilitate a common invocation.

8.2

  • timing.Stopwatch context now returns self for convenience.

8.1

  • Moved jaraco.dateutil to jaraco.tempora (but kept jaraco.dateutil for compatibility). Expect jaraco.dateutil to be removed in 9.0.

8.0

  • Package no longer uses 2to3 for Python 3 support, but instead relies on a unified code base and compatibility routines (including six).

  • Moved wallpaper module to jaraco.desktop project.

7.2

  • dictlib.FrozenDict now supplies .copy.

  • Fixed issue in FrozenDict where .__eq__ didn’t work on other FrozenDict instances.

7.1

  • Added dictlib.FrozenDict.

7.0

  • Moved blowfish module to jaraco.crypto.

6.4

  • Added dictlib.BijectiveMap.

6.3

  • Added cmdline module.

6.2

  • Added IntervalGovernor to timing module. Allows one to decorate a function, causing that function to only be called once per interval, despite the number of calls attempted.

  • Added itertools.suppress_exceptions. Use it to iterate over callables, suppressing exceptions.

6.1

  • Added context module, with a null_context context manager. It is suitable for taking the place of a real context when no context is needed.

6.0

  • itertools.always_iterable now returns an empty iterable when the input is None. This approach appears to work better for the majority of use-cases.

5.5

  • Added itertools.is_empty.

5.4

  • Added context manager support in timing.Stopwatch.

5.3.1

  • Fixed issue with dictlib.RangeMap.get so that it now works as one would expect.

5.3

  • Added string.words for retrieving words from an identifier, even if it is camelCased.

5.2

  • Added string.indent.

5.1

  • Added functools.once, a rudimentary caching function to ensure an expensive or non-idempotent function is not expensive on subsequent calls and is idempotent.

5.0

  • Renamed method in KeyTransformingDict from key_transform to transform_key.

  • Fixed critical NameErrors in jaraco.util.logging.

  • Enabled custom parameters in logging.setup.

  • Added jaraco.util.itertools.always_iterable

  • All modules now use unicode literals, consistent with Python 3 syntax
