zdev

Synopsis

Versatile collection of routines & tools for common development tasks.

Contents

This library provides handy routines & tools for common tasks during development as well as for productive use in Python programs (e.g. stripping fileparts()). Application focus is on scripts for automation as well as on algorithmic functions.

The package is structured into the following modules:

• base: init for Python console session & tools for automatic project deployment

• core: main collection of development functions (e.g. for type-checks, info strings, mass file operations or dependency tracking)

• indexing: helpers related to "find-type" of tasks (e.g. runlength sections or file-goto)

• parallel: convenience functions that build on Python's native multiprocessing package and classes for controllable dispatching of jobs onto N cores

• plot: routines for a single-line yet sophisticated control of figures based on matplotlib or plotly packages. Note: In order to support zynamon.zeit.TimeSeries the underlying package must be known and accessible as well!

• testing: set of small dummy functions w/ and w/o arguments that can be used for testing (e.g. for routines in zdev.parallel)

• validio: functions for a robust I/O behaviour (i.e. automatic replacement of "problematic" characters etc)

• colors: central definition of common color codes (RGB) in human-readable form (e.g. cPurple)

• searchstr: central definition of common strings used in regular expressions

More specialized tools can be found in:

• ccnx: "C-core nexus", providing simplified access to C-code DLLs (using ctypes package)
• libDSP: support for access to "libDSP.dll" - a hand-crafted C-code library for signal processing
• xlcmp: functions to compare rows or sheets of Excel workbooks and highlighting results in exported copies (using openpyxl package)
• sigproc: some basic signal processing tests (ALPHA!)
