scottbrian-utils 1.0.0

Print header/trailer utilities

Intro

With @time_box, you can decorate a function to be sandwiched between start time and end time messages like this:

>>> from scottbrian_utils.time_hdr import time_box

>>> @time_box
... def func2() -> None:
...      print('2 * 3 =', 2*3)

>>> func2()
<BLANKLINE>
**********************************************
* Starting func2 on Mon Jun 29 2020 18:22:50 *
**********************************************
2 * 3 = 6
<BLANKLINE>
********************************************
* Ending func2 on Mon Jun 29 2020 18:22:51 *
* Elapsed time: 0:00:00.001204             *
********************************************

The flower_box.py module contains:

1. print_flower_box_msg function - takes one of more lines of text as input and prints them inside a flower box (asterisks) as a visual aid for finding the text on the console or in a log.

The time_hdr.py module contains:

1. StartStopHeader class - has two functions that will respectively print a starting time message in a flower box, and an ending time and elapsed wall clock time message in a flower box.

2. time_box decorator - wraps a function and uses the StartStopHeader to print the starting and ending time headers.

Installation

Linux:

pip install scottbrian-utils
