Afraid of red status ? Please click on the link, sometimes this is not my fault ;-)

This module is a Toolbox for Python scripts.

Documentation: https://pytoolbox.readthedocs.org

Repository: https://github.com/davidfischer-ch/pytoolbox

This library supports Python 3.11 and more recent.

What the release number stands for ?

I do my best to follow this interesting recommendation : Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 <http://semver.org/>_

How to install it ?

Install some packages that are not handled by pip::

$ sudo apt install liblzma-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libyaml-dev libz-dev
$ sudo apt install ffmpeg git-core python3-dev python3-gi python3-pip screen

If planning to use the imaging extra, especially the exif classes, then you'll have to install::

$ sudo apt install libcairo2 libcairo2-dev libexiv2-dev libgexiv2-dev libgirepository1.0-dev

The gir1.2-gexiv2-0.10 should also be installed, maybe its already the case.

You may find useful to read PyGObject's documentation <https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html>_.

If planning to use the vision feature, then you have to install some requirements for dlib::

$ sudo apt install build-essential cmake pkg-config

See https://learnopencv.com/install-dlib-on-ubuntu/ for an up-to-date procedure.

Make sure that pip is up-to-date (PIPception)::

$ source /some/python3/venv/bin/active
$ pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

Then, you only need to run setup.py::

$ source /some/python3/venv/bin/activate
$ pip install .

How to enable features/modules ?

Example::

$ python setup.py install --help

Common commands: (see '--help-commands' for more)

  setup.py build      will build the package underneath 'build/'
  setup.py install    will install the package

Global options:
  --verbose (-v)  run verbosely (default)
  --quiet (-q)    run quietly (turns verbosity off)
  --dry-run (-n)  don't actually do anything
  --help (-h)     show detailed help message
  --no-user-cfg   ignore pydistutils.cfg in your home directory

Options for 'WithExtra' command:

usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
   or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
   or: setup.py --help-commands
   or: setup.py cmd --help


$ python setup.py install --extra-smpte2022

Another way to do this, with pip::

$ pip install -e .[django,flask,mongo,smpte2022]

How to check coverage ?

::

$ source /some/python3/venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -e .[all,test]
$ flake8 pytoolbox
$ pytest
$ xdg-open htmlcov/index.html

Remarks:

• All Django related modules are excluded from tests!
• However I am using them with Django 1.8 up to 3.1.0.

How to use it ?

Here is an example hello.py using the cmd function provided by pytoolbox::

$ from pytoolbox.subprocess import cmd
$ print(cmd('echo Hello World!')['stdout'])

How to generate documentation ?

The documentation is generated by Sphinx <http://sphinx-doc.org/ext/autodoc.html>_. In fact most of this documentation is extracted from the docstrings of the code.

Here is the procedure::

$ source /some/python3/venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -e .[docs]
$ xdg-open docs/build/html/index.html

How to add it to dependencies of my own project ?

Here is an example setup.py for a project called my-cool-project::

from setuptools import setup

setup(
  name='my-cool-project',
	  version='0.8',
	  author='Firstname Lastname',
	  author_email='[e-mail]',
	  install_requires=['...', 'pytoolbox>=14<15', '...'],
	  tests_require=['...', 'pytest', '...'],
	  license='GPLv3',
	  url='https://github.com/nickname/my-cool-project',
	  packages=['my_cool_project'])

See pip vcs support <http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/logic.html#vcs-support>_ to get further details about this.

You also need to install git-core, but it is probably already the case, at least on your development computer ;-)
