Problem and Solution

#	Problem	Solution
1	10 separate scitex- utility packages for dev tooling* — pip install scitex-str, scitex-dict, scitex-path, ... gets tedious	Bundled foundation — import scitex_core exposes logging, errors, sh, path, str, dict, types, dt, parallel, repro in one install

Installation

pip install scitex-core

Quick Start

from scitex_core import logging, path, repro

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.info("Hello from scitex-core!")

git_root = path.find_git_root()
exp_id   = repro.gen_id()

Python API

# Logging
from scitex_core import logging
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.info("Hello"); logger.success("Done")

# Path
from scitex_core import path
path.find_file("/home/user/project", "*.py")
path.this_path()
path.find_git_root()

# Reproducibility
from scitex_core.repro import RandomStateManager, gen_id
rng = RandomStateManager(seed=42)
data = rng("data").random(100)
rng.verify(data, "my_data")

# Types
from scitex_core.types import ArrayLike, is_array_like, is_list_of_type
is_list_of_type([1, 2, 3], int)

# Datetime
from scitex_core.dt import linspace
import datetime
linspace(datetime.datetime(2026, 1, 1), datetime.datetime(2026, 1, 2),
         n_samples=24)

# Parallel
from scitex_core.parallel import run
run(my_func, [(arg1,), (arg2,)], n_jobs=4)

# Dict
from scitex_core.dict import DotDict
d = DotDict({"a": {"b": 1}})
d.a.b  # 1

Status

Foundation package — used by scitex-writer, scitex-scholar, scitex-io, and the umbrella scitex distribution.
