RiCS: My personal Python toolbox.
What is it?
An assorted collection of reusable functions that used to live in a Dropbox folder. RiCS, pronounced "rix", is short for Richard's Code Stash. I started this project with the purpose of learning more about Python best practices, typing and the Python ecosystem.
It has grown organically since then, and now provides a wide variety of small utility functions. Large submodules are typically converted to stand-alone PyPI packages once they begin to mature.
Highlighted Features
- Multivariate performance testing and plotting.
- get_by_full_name(): Import functions, objects and classes by name.
- rics.collections.dicts: Extended functionality for the built-in
dicttype. - basic_config(): Configure logging for development.
- And much more; click here for the full API.
Related libraries
The following packages started life as RiCS submodules.
-
ID Translation
Turn meaningless IDs into human-readable labels.
-
Time Split
Time-based k-fold validation splits for heterogeneous data.
Installation
The package is published through the Python Package Index (PyPI). Source code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/rsundqvist/rics
pip install -U rics
This is the preferred method to install rics, as it will always install the
most recent stable release.
