networking-utils 0.1.6

A small collection of networking-related utility helpers (demo).

networking-utils

Small utilities for networking-related scripts. Current focus: a simple Timestamp helper.

What’s included

• Timestamp class for generating current time in two formats:
  • timestamp: YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS (good for filenames)
  • time_str: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS (good for logs/UI)

Source: src/networking_utils/timestamp.py

Installation

pip install networking-utils

Install from TestPyPI (optional):

# Windows PowerShell
pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple networking-utils

Usage

from networking_utils.timestamp import Timestamp

ts = Timestamp()
ts.get_timestamp()  # populates fields with the current time

print(ts.timestamp)  # e.g., '2025_10_09_14_23_45'
print(ts.time_str)   # e.g., '2025-10-09 14:23:45'

Practical examples

• Unique filenames

from pathlib import Path
from networking_utils.timestamp import Timestamp

ts = Timestamp(); ts.get_timestamp()
path = Path(f"backup_{ts.timestamp}.zip")

• Log lines

from networking_utils.timestamp import Timestamp

ts = Timestamp(); ts.get_timestamp()
print(f"[{ts.time_str}] job started")

Development
