General Python tools
Project description
This is a collection of utility modules for Python projects.
Features
buildout module, for buildout-built projects:
Function checkPathForPackage to check a given package against a versions whitelist. Useful if you like to constain the versions of that package without actually requiring it.
coding module:
Factory functions to create safe_encode resp. safe_decode functions as needed
classes module:
Several simple but useful classes derived from Python dicts, e.g. Mirror and Proxy
debug module:
trace_this decorator
dicts module:
several tools to work with standard dictionaries
files module:
functions related to files; for now make_mtime_checker
html module:
HtmlEntityProxy - a dict which returns unicode characters when given a named HTML entity
http module:
extract_hostname (using url.split and raising ValueError)
lands0 module:
several tools to work with lists and strings
minifuncs module:
very small functions, for some cases where functions are used as arguments
profile module:
a StopWatch context manager and @profile decorator
sequences module:
tools for sequences, e.g. inject_indexes
times module:
functions related to date and/or time calculations

The modules are documented by doctests. Apart from this, we don’t have real user documentation yet (sorry).
