My Favorite Things

Convenient functions and classes I use too often. If Coltrane was a programmer (shudder) and much worse.

Installation

Install with

pip install my-favorite-things

Current Methods

save

save()

Import by

from my_favorite_things import save

This method is used for saving data to a file. You can save as an .npz file for numpy array(s) or as a .pkl file for dictionaries and other odd python objects. By default, it will not overwrite existing files but instead append a number onto the end of file name (the keywords being, by default, overwite=False and append=True). You can save relative to your current directory (absolute=False) or as an absolute path (absolute=True). Addtionally, double check that you're saving to the correct directory with dryrun=True. Check the doc string for more info.

ddict

nested_ddict()

Import by

from my_favorite_things import nested_ddict

This method allows for creating a nested defaultdictionary. This is useful if you have data that is dependent on multiple parameters that are heirarchical. For example, if we do

d = nested_ddict(3, list)

then we can use it as

d['zero']['one']['two']['three'].append(datum)

format_ddict()

Import by

from my_favorite_things import format_ddict

This method will format your (nested) defaultdictionary into dictionaries. Additionally, it can turns lists in numpy arrays and/or sort the lists too.
