nuff 0.1.0

http://tiny.cc/nuff

nuff: one tiny file of reusable Python tricks — attribute-dicts, typed CSV, pretty-print, seeded randomness, non-parametric stats, minimal column summaries, and row distances. Pure stdlib, zero dependencies. The cut-down kernel under my bigger apps, with no global config: every parameter (p, cliff, conf, rng) is passed as a keyword, so any function lifts out into another project.

from nuff import o, csv, say, Data, disty, same, shuffle
import random

d = Data(csv("../optimiz/auto93.csv"))         # build a table
say(disty(d, d.rows[0], p=1))                  # row->goal distance, p a kwarg
shuffle(rows, rng=random.Random(1))            # repeatable, own RNG
same(a, b, cliff=0.195, conf=1.36)             # are two samples the same?

NAME

nuff - one file of tiny stdlib python tricks (no global config)

DESIGN

One file, themed sections, no module-level `the`. Tuning rides
along as keyword args, so any function drops into another app:
  disty(data, row, p=2)
  same(xs, ys, cliff=0.195, conf=1.36)
  shuffle(lst, rng=random.Random(seed))

API

records / io / format
  o(dict)        attribute access: d.x is d['x']
  thing(s)       coerce str -> int|float|bool|str
  settings(s)    every var=val in s -> an o (vals coerced)
  csv(file)      yield typed rows ('#' = comment)
  say(x, dec=2)  pretty str; whole floats as ints
  main(funs)     run funs[name] for each --name in argv

rand   (pass your own random.Random(seed) for repeatability)
  shuffle(lst, rng)     shuffled copy
  some(lst, k, rng)     sample without replacement
  one(lst, rng)         one random item

stats  (non-parametric "are these two the same?")
  cliffs(xs, ys)        Cliff's delta effect size 0..1
  ks(xs, ys)            Kolmogorov-Smirnov CDF gap
  same(xs, ys, cliff=.195, conf=1.36)
  top_tier(groups, ...) names tied for best (min median)

columns / table  (Num, Sym, Cols, Data all just o-records)
  Num(txt,at) Sym(txt,at)  column summaries (Sym counts in .has)
  add(it,v,inc=1)          add v to a Num/Sym, or a row to a Data;
                           inc=-1 subtracts (Num resets if n<2)
  adds(src,it)             add every item of src to it
  mid(col) spread(col)     mean/mode, stdev/entropy
  norm(col,v)              0..1 via a logistic on v's z-score
  Cols(names)              -> o(names, all, x, y, klass) by role
  Data(rows)               -> o(cols, rows); first row = names
  clone(data, src=None)    new Data, same columns, fresh rows
                           Upper=Num lower=Sym; +/-/! goal; ! klass; X skip
  Data(rows)           header sets roles: Upper=Num, lower=Sym,
                       +/-/! = goal, X = skip

distance  (exponent `p` is a keyword)
  minkowski(vals, p=2)
  disty(data, row, p=2)      distance to best goals (0=ideal)
  distx(data, r1, r2, p=2)   distance between two rows on x
  gap(col, u, v)             per-column value distance 0..1

bayes  (naive bayes; m, k carried as kwargs, no global the)
  like(col, v, prior=0, k=1)            how a column likes a value
  likes(data, row, nrows, nklasses)     log-likelihood of a row
  confuse(pairs)                        (want,got) -> per-class
                                        o(pd, pf, prec, acc)

STYLE

Minimal python: one file, one-line comments, ~65-char lines,
very short functions, `i` (not self), records over classes.
Threshold for a new file vs a new gist: parts you *import* stay
in here; *wholes* you *run* (apps, other languages, data) get
their own gist.
