Features

• nil & null ::

Shorthand values for for the None boolean value.

• buildFunc(name='unnamed', param=[], func=['pass'], \*\*kwargs) & buildClass ::

Functions that will build dynamically named and defined functions and classes respectively.

buildFunc(
	name='a_function',
	param=[
		'value_1',
		'value_2'
	],
	func=[
		'a_variable = value_1 + value_2',
		'print(a_variable)'
	],
	)

• doLoggedAction(action='pass', log='Logged!', iterateMethod='set', logToScreen=True, logFile=None) ::

Executes a block of code and logging it either on the screen or in a file. Set logToScreen to False to only print to a file, and pass a path to a file as logFile to log the code to the file.

doLoggedAction(
	action='print(\'Hello World!\')',
	log='Printed!'
	)

doLoggedAction('print(\'Hello World!\')', 'Printed!')

• clear() ::

Clears the screen regardless of what system is used.

clear()

• systemCheck(acceptedMachinesList=['Windows', 'Darwin', 'Linux']) ::

Makes sure the machine the program is run on can properly run the program.

systemCheck(['Windows', 'Linux'])

• replaceLine(file, line, newText) ::

Takes in a path to a file, the number of the line you want to change in the file, and the string you want to change it to.

replaceLine('../text_files/a_file.txt', 3, 'This is a .txt file!')

• lineBreakdown ::

A class with multiple related functions in it.

lineBreakdown().{METHOD}({PARAMETERS})

length(origText, maxLength) -

Takes a long string and breaks it down into a list of strings that conform to specified length requirements.

lineBreakdown('Yesterday, I had work from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and then I had to visit the grocery store.', 10) =>

['Yesterday,', 'I had work', 'from 9:00', 'AM to 5:00', 'PM, and', 'then I had', 'to visit', 'the', 'grocery', 'store']

lineBreakdown('Cardiovascular', 10) =>

['Cardiovas-', 'cular']

raw(line) -

Removes the '\n' at the end of a string if it exists, this is meant for quickly iterating through a file.

lineBreakdown().raw('Hello World!\n') =>

'Hello World!'

lineBreakdown().raw('Hello World!') =>

'Hello World!'

list(line) -

Breaks down a line into a list of string that were previously joined by a '\n'.

lineBreakdown().list('To-do List:\n- Water the plants.\n- Exercise.\n- Go to the grocery store for bread and milk.') =>

['To-do List:', '- Water the plants.', '- Exercise.', '- Go to the grocery store for bread and milk.']
