auxlib

Auxlib is an auxiliary library to the python standard library.

The aim is to provide core generic features for app development in python. Auxlib fills in some python stdlib gaps much like pytoolz has for functional programming, pyrsistent has for data structures, or boltons has generally.

Major areas addressed include

• packaging

  package versioning, with a clean and less invasive alternative to versioneer

• entity

  robust base class for type-enforced data models and transfer objects

• type_coercion

  intelligent type coercion utilities

• configuration

  a map implementation designed specifically to hold application configuration and context information

• factory

  factory pattern implementation

• path

  file path utilities especially helpful when working with various python package formats

• logz

  logging initialization routines to simplify python logging setup

• crypt

  simple, but correct, pycrypto wrapper
