An optimized utility library for directory, file, image, and JSON operations.

Optimized Utility Library

Overview

The Optimized Utility Library is a Python package that provides a collection of highly efficient and easy-to-use utility functions for common tasks such as directory operations, file handling, image processing, and JSON manipulation. This library is designed to simplify and speed up the development process by offering optimized solutions for frequently encountered tasks.

Key Features

• Directory Operations: Easily manage directories, including creating directories, listing files, setting up multiple directories, checking for changes, and retrieving the latest files.
• File Operations: Perform common file operations like reading, writing, appending to CSV files, deleting files, clearing file contents, copying files, moving files, and retrieving file properties.
• Image Processing: Display images, convert images to base64 and vice versa, resize images, and perform optimized image resizing for use with OpenAI's GPT-4 API.
• JSON Handling: Efficiently load and save JSON data, get values with default fallbacks, and update JSON keys.
• Performance Optimizations: The library employs various optimization techniques such as caching, multithreading, lazy evaluation, and efficient third-party libraries to enhance performance and reduce execution time.
• Logging Support: Built-in logging functionality allows for easy debugging and monitoring of library operations.

Installation

You can install the Optimized Utility Library using pip:

pip install optimized-utility-library

from utility_lib.common.directory_operations import list_files

directory_path = "path/to/directory"
files = list_files(directory_path, pattern="*.txt", recursive=True)
print(files)

Setup Multiple Directories

from utility_lib.common.directory_operations import setup_directories

config = {
    "dir1": "path/to/dir1",
    "dir2": "path/to/dir2"
}
setup_directories(config)

Check if a Directory Has Changed

from utility_lib.common.directory_operations import has_directory_changed

directory_path = "path/to/directory"
changed = has_directory_changed(directory_path)
print(changed)

Get Latest Files from a Directory

from utility_lib.common.directory_operations import get_latest_files

directory_path = "path/to/directory"
latest_files = get_latest_files(directory_path, num_files=5, file_ext=".txt")
print(latest_files)

File Operations

Read and Write Files

from utility_lib.common.file_operations import read_file, write_file

file_path = "path/to/file.txt"
content = "Hello, World!"

# Write content to a file
write_file(file_path, content)

# Read content from a file
read_content = read_file(file_path)
print(read_content)

Append to a CSV File

from utility_lib.common.file_operations import append_to_csv

row = ["name", "age", "city"]
csv_file_path = "path/to/file.csv"
append_to_csv(row, csv_file_path)

Delete a File

from utility_lib.common.file_operations import delete_file

file_path = "path/to/file.txt"
delete_file(file_path)

Image Processing

Display an Image

from utility_lib.common.image_operations import display_img

image_path = "path/to/image.jpg"
display_img(image_path)

Convert Image to Base64

from utility_lib.common.image_operations import image_to_base64

image_path = "path/to/image.jpg"
base64_string = image_to_base64(image_path)
print(base64_string)

Resize an Image

from utility_lib.common.image_operations import resize_image

image_path = "path/to/image.jpg"
output_path = "path/to/resized_image.jpg"
size = (800, 600)
resize_image(image_path, size, output_path)

Revise Image for OpenAI's GPT-4 API

from utility_lib.llm.llm_image_operation import revise_image_for_llm

image_path = "path/to/image.jpg"
mode = "low"  # or "high"
revise_image_for_llm(image_path, mode)

Batch Revise Images for OpenAI's GPT-4 API

from utility_lib.llm.llm_image_operation import batch_revise_images_for_llm

image_paths = ["path/to/image1.jpg", "path/to/image2.jpg"]
mode = "low"
batch_revise_images_for_llm(image_paths, mode)

Process Last N Images for OpenAI's GPT-4 API

from utility_lib.llm.llm_image_operation import process_last_n_images

folder_path = "path/to/folder"
output_folder = "path/to/output_folder"
num_images = 10
quality = "high"
processed_images = process_last_n_images(folder_path, num_images, output_folder, quality)
print(processed_images)

JSON Handling

Load and Save JSON Data

from utility_lib.common.json_operations import load_json, save_json

json_path = "path/to/file.json"
data = {"key": "value"}

# Save JSON data to a file
save_json(json_path, data)

# Load JSON data from a file
loaded_data = load_json(json_path)
print(loaded_data)

Get JSON Key with Default

from utility_lib.common.json_operations import get_json_key

json_data = {"key1": "value1"}
value = get_json_key(json_data, "key2", "default_value")
print(value)

Update JSON Key

from utility_lib.common.json_operations import update_json_key

json_data = {"key1": "value1"}
update_json_key(json_data, "key2", "value2")
print(json_data)

Performance Optimizations

The Optimized Utility Library incorporates several techniques to enhance performance:

• Caching: The library utilizes caching mechanisms to store and reuse previously processed data, minimizing redundant operations and improving response times.
• Multithreading: Resource-intensive tasks, such as file processing and image resizing, are parallelized using multithreading to leverage available system resources and speed up execution.
• Efficient Libraries: The library leverages optimized third-party libraries like ujson for faster JSON serialization and deserialization, and PIL (Pillow) for efficient image processing.
• Lazy Evaluation: Certain operations, such as directory scanning and file listing, are performed lazily, meaning they are only executed when the results are actually needed, avoiding unnecessary processing and improving overall performance.

Logging

The Optimized Utility Library includes built-in logging functionality to help with debugging and monitoring. By default, the logging level is set to WARNING to prevent excessive output. However, you can easily configure the logging level to suit your needs.

To enable logging, you can configure the root logger or the specific logger for the library:

import logging

# Configure the root logger
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

# Or configure the specific logger for the library
logging.getLogger('utility_lib').setLevel(logging.INFO)

Adjust the logging level as needed:

• DEBUG: Detailed information for debugging purposes.
• INFO: Confirmation that things are working as expected.
• WARNING: Indication of potential issues or unexpected events.
• ERROR: Serious issues that caused a failure in a specific operation.
• CRITICAL: Very serious errors that may lead to application failure.
