profpy

What is profpy?

The profpy library is a centralized repository for Rowan's various python scripts to use.

Why use it?

Many of Rowan's python scripts/programs utilize similar or congruent functions and classes that end up getting rewritten or even copy/pasted wherever needed. Rather than continue this trend of untracked code, profpy allows us to have overhead control over these common functions and classes. If a program or script needs to use a class or function, it can just import it from profpy rather than rewrite it. This will allow us to standardize some of our code practices moving forward.

Installation

pip3 install profpy

CLI

For details on the profpy command line interface, read the docs.

Submodules

The profpy library is organized into submodules: db, web, and apis. The db submodule makes accessing Oracle databases with cx_Oracle and or Sql-Alchemy simpler. The apis submodule contains wrapper-classes for some commonly used web APIs. The web submodule contains code for making easy, database-backed Flask apps, configured with CAS and role-based security.

All three of these submodules can be used to cut back on duplicated code, as well as make the development process much less time consuming.

For in-depth documentation, explore the submodules individually:

• db
• apis
• web
