Various utilities for common tasks. :sparkles: :sparkles: :sparkles:

Setup

Install with pip.

pip install shinyutils

matwrap

Wrapper around matplotlib and seaborn.

Usage

from shinyutils import MatWrap as mw  # do not import `matplotlib`, `seaborn`

fig = mw.plt().figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)  # `ax` can be used normally now

# Use class methods in `MatWrap` to access `matplotlib`/`seaborn` functions.
mw.mpl()  # returns `matplotlib` module
mw.plt()  # returns `matplotlib.pyplot` module
mw.sns()  # returns `seaborn` module

# Use `set_size_tight` to set size with a tight layout.
mw.set_size_tight(fig, (4, 3))

subcls

Utility functions for dealing with subclasses.

Functions

• get_subclasses(cls): returns a list of all the subclasses of cls.
• get_subclass_names(cls): returns a list of names of all subclasses of cls.
• get_subclass_from_name(base_cls, cls_name): return the subclass of base_cls named cls_name.
• build_subclass_object(base_cls, cls_name, kwargs): return an instance of get_subclass_from_name initialized using kwargs.

argp

Utilities for argument parsing.

LazyHelpFormatter

HelpFormatter with sane defaults, and colors (courtesy of crayons)! To use, simply pass formatter_class=LazyHelpFormatter when creating ArgumentParser instances.

arg_parser = ArgumentParser(formatter_class=LazyHelpFormatter)
sub_parsers = arg_parser.add_subparsers(dest="cmd")
sub_parsers.required = True
# `formatter_class` needs to be set for sub parsers as well.
cmd1_parser = sub_parsers.add_parser("cmd1", formatter_class=LazyHelpFormatter)

comma_separated_ints

ArgumentParser type representing a comma separated list of ints (example 1,2,3,4).

arg_parser.add_argument("--csi", type=comma_separated_ints)

logng

Utilities for logging.

build_log_argp

Creates an argument group with logging arguments.

>>> arg_parser = ArgumentParser()
>>> log_parser = build_log_argp(arg_parser)
>>> arg_parser.print_help()
usage: python [-h] [--log-level {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}]
            [--log-file LOG_FILE]

optional arguments:
-h, --help            show this help message and exit

logging:
--log-level {DEBUG,INFO,WARNING,ERROR,CRITICAL}
--log-file LOG_FILE

conf_logging

Configures global logging (and adds colors!) using arguments returned by ArgumentParser.parse_args. Both log_level and log_file can be over-ridden with keyword arguments to the function. Colors are not enabled if logging to a file.

args = arg_parser.parse_args()
conf_logging(args)
conf_logging(args, log_level="INFO")  # override `log_level`
conf_logging(log_level="ERROR", log_file="log.out")  # `args` is also optional
logging.info("this won't be logged")
