A "utility belt" of commonly needed utility and helper functions
Project description
UBelt is a “utility belt” of commonly needed utility and helper functions.
Reusable code - Many functions in ubelt are simple to write yourself (e.g. take, memoize, ensure_unicode), but even re-writing trivial functions takes time better spent on more important tasks.
Easy access - The entire ubelt API is exposed at the top level. While the functions are defined in submodules, explicit imports make easy to access any function. There are also a small number of functions (e.g. ub.odict, ub.ddict, ub.flatten, which are aliases for collections.OrderedDict, collections.DefaultDict, and itertools.chain.from_iterable, respectively) that are essentially aliases for functions already in Python’s standard library. I found myself using these functions so much that I wanted easier access to them, thus they are included in ubelt.
Extra batteries - Python’s standard library is “batteries included” and provides great APIs for a variety of tasks. UBelt both extends these batteries and provides simplified interfaces to others.
Copy paste - It is often not desirable to add extra dependencies to code. While I encourage installation and use of this module, I realize that option is not always feasible. Most (but not all) functions were also written in a way where they can be copy and pasted into your packages own utility library without needing to add a dependency on ubelt.
