Utility functions for strings validation and manipulation.
Project description
Python String Utils
Latest version: 1.0.0 (March 2020)
A handy library to validate, manipulate and generate strings, which is:
- Simple and "pythonic"
- Fully documented and with examples! (html version on readthedocs.io)
- 100% code coverage! (see it with your own eyes on codecov.io)
- Tested (automatically on each push thanks to Travis CI) against all officially supported Python versions
- Fast (mostly based on compiled regex)
- Free from external dependencies
- PEP8 compliant
What's inside...
Library structure
The library basically consists in the python package string_utils
, containing the following modules:
validation.py
(contains string check api)manipulation.py
(contains string transformation api)generation.py
(contains string generation api)errors.py
(contains library-specific errors)_regex.py
(contains compiled regex FOR INTERNAL USAGE ONLY)
Plus a secondary package tests
which includes several submodules.
Specifically one for each test suite and named according to the api to test (eg. tests for is_ip()
will be in test_is_ip.py
and so on).
All the public API are importable directly from the main package string_utils
, so this:
from string_utils.validation import is_ip
can be simplified as:
from string_utils import is_ip

'''
compress/decompress: Compress strings into shorted ones that can be restored back to the original one later on

assert(my_long_string == decompressed) # yep
roman_encode: Encode integers/string into roman numbers
roman_encode(37) # returns 'XXXVII'

roman_range: Generator which returns roman numbers on each iteration
for n in roman_range(10): print(n) # prints: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X
for n in roman_range(start=7, stop=1, step=-1): print(n) # prints: VII, VI, V, IV, III, II, I
String generations:
uuid: Returns the string representation of a newly created UUID object
uuid() # possible output: 'ce2cd4ee-83de-46f6-a054-5ee4ddae1582'

secure_random_hex(12)
# possible ouput: 'd1eedff4033a2e9867c37ded'
# (len is 24, because 12 represents the number of random bytes generated, which are then converted to hexadecimal value)
