A few (currently only 3) somewhat useful (Epic) python objects/functions (Stuff)

pip install epicstuff

Makes using nested progress bars from rich.progress easier

• Example:

basically replaces

from rich.progress import Progress

with Progress() as progress:
	task = progress.add_task("task", total=100)
	for i in range(100):
		sub_task = progress.add_task("subtask", total=100)
		for j in range(100):
			time.sleep(0.01)  # some task

			progress.update(sub_task, advance=1)

		progress.remove_task(sub_task)
		progress.update(task, advance=1)

with

from epicstuff import Bar

with Bar() as bar:
	for i in bar(range(100)):
		for j in bar(range(100), transient=True):
			time.sleep(0.01)  # some task

with minor extra features (fancier default bar)

Lets you access a dictionary's keys as attributes

Simpler than Bar (and faster i think) and with more features (basically only recursive conversion) than jdict (and without some of the "extra" stuff)

• Example:

from epicstuff import Dict

d = Dict({"a": 1, "b": {"c": 2, "d": 3}})

print(d.b.c)  # 2

"Wraps" a target instead of converting it into a (new) Dict object. Useful for when your "target" is say, a CommentedMap and you don't want to loose the comments

• Example:

from epicstuff import Dict

d = Dict(dict(), _convert=False)  # ignore the unexpected-keyword-arg warning

# d._t points to the original dictionary

d.x = 1

downsides: currently no recursive "wrapping" and is "messier" than the new Dict in VSCode debugger

a simple timer to time execution of code a code segment

• Example:

from epicstuff import timer

with timer():
	pass  # some code

# outputs: Time elapsed: 0.0 seconds
# message can be changed by passing a string with {} to timer

extra functions:

• open: overwriting open to use encoding='utf8' by default
• wrap: just a renamed functools.partial

• when doing bar in bar with the second bar being transient, make so that the dots continue from where the previous bar left off
• implement auto transient for bar in bar
• add and implement simple=False for .Bar.track()

• Note to self:
  • "self install" using pip install -U -e .
  • upload by running python -m build then twine upload dist/*
