swiss-knife-py 0.1.3

A comprehensive collection of Python automation tools

Swiss Knife

A Python automation toolkit for file management, text processing, and security utilities.

Swiss Knife is a Python package that provides essential automation tools with a focus on safety, security, and ease of use.

Features

File Management

• Duplicate Detection: Find and remove duplicate files using cryptographic hashes (MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512)
• Bulk Renaming: Rename files in bulk using regex patterns with safety checks and dry-run mode

Text Processing

• CSV Conversion: Convert CSV files to JSON/XML with intelligent type inference and validation

Security & Automation

• Password Generation: Generate secure passwords with customizable policies and strength analysis

Standalone Scripts

This repository also contains standalone scripts in automation/, convert/, file_management/, network_web/, system_utilities/, text_processing/, utilities/, and development_tools/. These scripts are not installed by pip install swiss-knife-py; use the separate requirements files in those directories when running them directly from the repository.

Quick Start

Installation

# Basic installation
pip install swiss-knife-py

# With XML processing support (recommended for security)
pip install swiss-knife-py[xml]

# With development tools
pip install swiss-knife-py[dev]

Command Line Usage

# Find duplicate files
sk-duplicates ~/Documents --algorithm sha256 --min-size 1MB

# Convert CSV to JSON
sk-csv data.csv --format json --output data.json --pretty

# Generate secure password
sk-password --length 16 --exclude-ambiguous

# Bulk rename files
sk-rename 'IMG_(\d+)' 'photo_\1' ~/Pictures --dry-run

Python API Usage

from swiss_knife.file_management.duplicate_finder import find_duplicates
from swiss_knife.file_management.bulk_renamer import bulk_rename
from swiss_knife.text_processing.csv_converter import convert_csv
from swiss_knife.automation.password_generator import generate_password

# Find duplicates
duplicates = find_duplicates(["/path/to/search"], algorithm="sha256")
print(f"Found {len(duplicates)} duplicate groups")

# Convert CSV to JSON
convert_csv("data.csv", "json", output_path="data.json", pretty=True)

# Generate secure password
password = generate_password(length=16, include_symbols=True)
print(f"Generated password: {password}")

# Bulk rename with safety checks
renamed_count = bulk_rename(r"IMG_(\d+)", r"photo_\1", "/path/to/images", dry_run=True)

Security Features

Swiss Knife prioritizes security with multiple safety mechanisms:

• Safe Defaults: All destructive operations require explicit confirmation
• Input Validation: Comprehensive validation prevents injection attacks
• Path Safety: Protection against path traversal vulnerabilities
• Memory Limits: Configurable limits prevent memory exhaustion
• Dry Run Mode: Test operations before executing them
• Cryptographic Security: Uses secrets module for secure randomness
