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

Overview

scitex-core provides shared utilities used across all SciTeX packages:

• logging: Enhanced logging with colored output and file support
• errors: Common error classes with rich context
• sh: Safe shell command execution
• str: String utilities including ANSI color formatting
• path: File path and directory utilities
• repro: Reproducibility utilities (ID generation, random state management)
• types: Shared type definitions and validators

Installation

pip install scitex-core

Usage

Logging

from scitex_core import logging

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

Path Utilities

from scitex_core import path

# Find files
py_files = path.find_file("/home/user/project", "*.py")

# Get current script path
script_path = path.this_path()

# Find git repository root
git_root = path.find_git_root()

# Clean and normalize paths
cleaned = path.clean("path/with/../spaces ")

Reproducibility

from scitex_core.repro import RandomStateManager, gen_id

# Random state management
rng_manager = RandomStateManager(seed=42)
data_gen = rng_manager("data")
data = data_gen.random(100)

# Verify reproducibility
rng_manager.verify(data, "my_data")

# Generate unique IDs
exp_id = gen_id()  # "2025Y-11M-10D-12h30m45s_aB3xY9z2"

Type Definitions

from scitex_core.types import ArrayLike, is_array_like, is_list_of_type

def process_data(data: ArrayLike) -> None:
    if is_array_like(data):
        print("Valid array-like data")

numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4]
if is_list_of_type(numbers, int):
    print("All elements are integers")
