katalytic

Don't use in production yet. I will likely tweak the function names and the default behaviour a few more times.

Features

data

• Checks for the structure or properties of data structures
• Convert between different data representations
• Sort or apply map recursively on nested data structures
• Positive and negative front detection
• TODO: Link to tocs

>>> detect_fronts_positive('00101101')
[2, 4, 7]

>>> swap_keys_and_values({'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3})
{1: 'a', 2: 'b', 3: 'c'}

>>> as_list_of_dicts([['b', 'a'], [1, 2], [3, 4]])
[{'b': 1, 'a': 2}, {'b': 3, 'a': 4}]

>>> flatten_recursive([1, [2, [3, 4], 5], 6])
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

files

• Atomic operations
• Load and save files with a uniform interface
• Copy, move, and delete files without searching the docs for the right function
• The functions return the same type as the input (Path or str)
• TODO: Link to tocs

>>> get_files('/home/user/*bash*', prefix=True)
['/home/user/.bash_history', '/home/user/.bash_logout', '/home/user/.bashrc']

>>> get_files('/home/user/*bash*', prefix=False)
['.bash_history', '.bash_logout', '.bashrc']

>>> get_unique_path('{}.csv')
'/tmp/tmp3s0_ltan/1.csv'

maths

• Calculate the L1 and L2 distance between two vectors
• Clip a value to a minimum or maximum
• Convert bounding boxes between different formats
• Calculate the IoU (Intersection Over Union) between bounding boxes
• TODO: Link to tocs

>>> clip(123, 0, 10)
10
>>> clip(-1, 0, 10)
0

>>> convert_bbox([100, 100, 300, 400], 'xyXY', 'xy_wh')
((100, 100), (200, 300))

>>> box_1 = [100, 100, 300, 400]
>>> box_2 = [50, 150, 250, 100]
>>> intersect_bboxes(box_1, 'xyXY', box_2, 'xywh')
(100, 150, 300, 250)

>>> calc_IoU(box_1, 'xyXY', box_2, 'xywh')
0.3076923076923077

metaprogramming

• Access the functions at any depth of the call stack
• TODO: Link to tocs

    >>> def foo():
    ...     caller = reference_caller_function()
    ...     print(f'{caller.__name__}() called foo()')
    ...
    >>> def bar():
    ...     foo()
    ...
    >>> bar()
    bar() called foo()

• geometry
• data processing
  • images
  • text
  • tabular
  • structured (e.g. list of dicts <-> dict of lists)
