PyTools

Submitted by inducer on Mon, 21/04/2008 - 13:26

Pytools is a big bag of things that are "missing" from the Python standard library. This is mainly a dependency of my other software packages, and is probably of little interest to you unless you use those. If you're curious nonetheless, here's what's on offer:

  • A ton of small tool functions such as len_iterable, argmin, tuple generation, permutation generation, ASCII table pretty printing, Michele Simionato's decorator module, GvR's mokeypatch_xxx() hack, the elusive flatten, and much more.
  • A time-series logging module, pytools.log.
  • Batch job submission, pytools.batchjob.
  • A lexer, pytools.lex.

More info and downloads are available at the PyTools PyPI page.

You may also check pytools out of my source control.

Fantastic. There's a name clash. The people at STScI have a package called PyTools as well. This here is the wrong one for your purposes.
