pip install pocketutils[compression,encoding,formats,units,misc]

Basic usage

import sys
from datetime import timedelta
from pocketutils import Tools, SmartIo, FrozeList, FrozeSet, FrozeDict

my_dict = FrozeDict({"5": "10"})
hash(my_dict)
assert my_dict == my_dict
assert not (my_dict < my_dict)  # orderable!
inside_a_set = {my_dict}  # hashable!

SmartIo.read_bytes("compressed.xz")  # infers compress by filename extension
data = SmartIo.read_text("text.zst")  # zstd, lz4, brotli, snappy, xz, ...
SmartIo.write(data, "compressed.zst", atomic=True)  # atomic requires it to finish

Tools.zip_strict([1, 2, 3], [5, 6])  # error <-- lengths must match
Tools.strip_brackets("( (xy)")  # "(xy" <-- strips paired only
Tools.sanitize_path("x\ty")  # "xy"  <-- very robust cross-platform sanitization
Tools.delete_surefire("my_file")  # <-- Attempts to fix permissions if needed
Tools.git_description("my_repo")  # <-- get git repo info
Tools.pretty_function(lambda s: None)  # "<Ξ»(1)> <-- decent name for any object
Tools.roman_to_arabic("XIV")  # 14  <-- inverse function too
Tools.pretty_timedelta(delta_sec=timedelta(seconds=60 * 2 + 5))  # "02:05"  <-- handles days too
Tools.round_to_sigfigs(135.3, 2)  # "140"  <-- rounding to sigfigs
Tools.pretty_float(-float("-inf"))  # "βˆ’βˆž"  <-- proper unicode, no trailing 0s
Tools.stream_cmd_call(["cat", "big-file"])  # <-- buffer never fills
Tools.strip_quotes("'hello'")  # "hello"
Tools.truncate("looong string", n=10)  # "looong st…"
Tools.parse_bool("true")  # True
Tools.parse_bool_flex("yes")  # True
Tools.look(item, "purchase.buyer.first_name")  # None if purchase or buyer is None
Tools.friendly_size(n_bytes=2 * 14)  # "16.38 kb"
Tools.is_probable_null("NaN")  # True
Tools.is_true_iterable("kitten")  # False
Tools.or_null(lambda: None)  # None if it fails
Tools.trash("unwanted_file.txt")  # move to os-specific trash
Tools.pretty_dict({"contents": {"greeting": "hi"}})  # indented
Tools.save_diagnostics(Tools.get_env_info())  # record diagnostic info
Tools.is_lambda(lambda: None)  # True
Tools.longest(["a", "a+b"])  # "a+b"  # anything with len
Tools.only([1, 2])  # error -- multiple items
Tools.first(iter([]))  # None <-- better than try: next(iter(x)) except:...
Tools.trace_signals(sink=sys.stderr)  # log traceback on all signals
Tools.trace_exit(sink=sys.stderr)  # log traceback on exit
Tools.required_args(lambda a, b, c: None)  # reflection
# lots of others

Better yet, import specific sets of tools; e.g.:

from pocketutils import FilesysTools

FilesysTools.delete_surefire("bad-path")
