mypytoolkit 1.2.1

A few basic tools I feel are missing in the standard Python distribution.

My Python Toolkit

This is just a miscellaneous collection of some tools I use regularly that I decided to compile into one package for easy use by mainly me. All examples will assume the package has been imported as kit.

Install from PyPi: pip install mypytoolkit.

import mypytoolkit as kit

Dates and Times

kit.time_now() returns a string of the current time in the format "%H-%M". Midnight is "00-00" and 8:35 a.m. is "08-35". 10 p.m. is "22-00".

kit.today_date() returns a string of the current date in the format "%Y-%M-%D", where Feb 22, 2022, is "2022-02-22".

Python Tools

kit.tprint() displays the contents of an object along with its type. I got fed up of constantly writing print(obj, type(obj)) when debugging so I found myself constantly defining a tprint() function:

def tprint(obj):
    print(obj, type(obj))
    return [obj, type(obj)]

Super simple but it makes a night and day difference when debugging in lightspeed.

Document Checks

kit.are_docs_same() will tell you if two documents (of any type) have the exact same contents. It takes two parameters.

kit.are_docs_same(original_dir: str, new_dir: str)

It returns a boolean, True or False, depending on whether the contents of the two files are identical. There is no grey area.

Math

Added a LinearEquation class that takes attributes of slope and intercept on instantiation. It has a plot() method which plots the linear graph. For example:

import mypytoolkit as kit

equation = kit.LinearEquation(slope = 4, intercept = 10)
equation.plot(interval = 1000)

This will output a matplotlib plot of the linear equation from 0 to 1000.
