Modulift

Modulift is a powerful and efficient Python package designed to help developers, data scientists, and researchers explore and discover Python packages on PyPI based on specific keywords, package names, or full-text search within package descriptions. With a comprehensive dataset of PyPI packages, Modulift allows you to find relevant libraries for your project needs, making it an invaluable tool for anyone looking to streamline package selection and integration.

Key Features

• Exact Package Name Search: Retrieve detailed information on a specific package by name.
• Keyword-Based Search: Search packages by multiple keywords with flexible "or" and "and" logic to refine results.
• Full-Text Description Search: Locate packages by searching for specific phrases or content in their descriptions.
• Markdown Output Option: Print search results in Markdown format, ideal for documentation or presentations.

Installation

Install Modulift via pip:

pip install modulift

Usage

Modulift provides an easy-to-use API for searching and exploring Python packages. Here’s a quick guide on how to use its core features.

1. Search by Package Name

Retrieve detailed information for a specific package by name:

import modulift as mf

result = mf.search_by_package_name("numpy")
print(result)

Output:

{
    'package': 'numpy',
    'description': 'NumPy is the fundamental package for scientific computing with Python. It provides powerful N-dimensional arrays, sophisticated mathematical functions, tools for integrating C/C++ and Fortran code, and useful linear algebra, Fourier transform, and random number capabilities.',
    'keywords': 'scientific computing, array, linear algebra, Fourier transform, random number generation, data processing, numerical analysis',
    'popularity': 5
}

For a different package:

result = mf.search_by_package_name("nullsweep")
print(result)

Output:

{
    'package': 'nullsweep',
    'description': 'NullSweep is a Python library designed for detecting and handling patterns of missing data in pandas DataFrames. It provides a simple API to identify global missing data patterns across the entire dataset, patterns related to specific features within the dataset, and to impute missing values using various strategies.',
    'keywords': 'missing data, data imputation, pandas, pattern detection, feature-specific patterns',
    'popularity': 4
}

Markdown Output To display the result in Markdown format:

result = mf.search_by_package_name("numpy", markdown=True)

Package: numpy

• Description: NumPy is the fundamental package for scientific computing with Python. It provides powerful N-dimensional arrays, sophisticated mathematical functions, tools for integrating C/C++ and Fortran code, and useful linear algebra, Fourier transform, and random number capabilities.
• Keywords: scientific computing, array, linear algebra, Fourier transform, random number generation, data processing, numerical analysis
• Popularity: 5

2. Search by Keywords

Search for packages using one or more keywords. Modulift supports both "or" and "and" relations.

Single Keyword Search

result = mf.search_by_keywords("data science")
print(len(result))

Output:

3141  # Number of packages related to "data science"

Multi-Keyword Search with "and" Relation

result = mf.search_by_keywords("data science", "machine learning", "deep learning", relation="and")
print(len(result))

Output:

115  # Number of packages related to all three keywords

Limiting Results with Markdown Output

result = mf.search_by_keywords("data science", "machine learning", "deep learning", relation="and", limit=3, markdown=True)
