Versatile collection of helper functions for common development tasks

zdev

Versatile collection of helper functions for common development tasks.

Synopsis

This library provides handy functions for frequent tasks during development as well as for productive use in Python programs (e.g. stripping fileparts). Application focus is to support automation scripts as well as development of algorithmic functions.

Contents

The package is structured into the following modules:

• colors: Default color definitions w/ semantic names, e.g. 'cRed' or 'cDodgerBlue'

• core: Basic type & file checking helpers.

• display: Handy convenience functions for a one-line, yet sophisticated, control of figures based on matplotlib and plotly calls. Note: For support on plotting zynamon.zeit.TimeSeries the underlying package must be installed as well! (optional requirement)

• indexing: Helpers related to all kinds of "find-something" tasks (e.g. file-goto, runlength sections etc)

• parallel: Convenience functions for Python's builtin multiprocessing package and custom classes for controllable dispatching of jobs onto N cores.

• searchstr: Regular expressions to find common strings (e.g. identifiers w/ or w/o hyphens, numbers etc)

• sound: Audio-related helpers (e.g. interpret any array and play as sound w/ defined fs)

• testing: Set of dummy functions w/ and w/o arguments and possible writing of "flag-files" that can be used for testing of e.g. routines in zdev.parallel

• utils: Main collection of frequently used dev utilitites (e.g. dependency analysis, bulk file operations, infos on storage/time/etc)

• validio: Functions to check & convert for a robust I/O behaviour (e.g. auto-replace "problematic" characters etc)
