PyCFUtils

PyCFUtils (Cristi Fati's Utils for Python (&& more)) - a collection of goodies ((cool) scripts / utilities)

Install

Use PIP:

python -m pip install --upgrade pycfutils

Usage example

import time

import pycfutils.io
import pycfutils.miscellaneous as misc
import pycfutils.network
import pycfutils.system
from pycfutils.exceptions import ModuleException, NetworkException

print("Press a key in less than one second...")
print(pycfutils.io.read_key(timeout=1))

print(misc.timestamp_string(human_readable=True))
print(tuple(misc.progression(ratio=2)))

@misc.timed_execution()
def func(arg0, kw0=1):
    time.sleep(0.2)
    return 5

func("123")

try:
    print(pycfutils.network.connect_to_server("127.0.0.1", 22))
except NetworkException as e:
    print(e)

pycfutils.system.cpu_stress(3)

# --- Requires PyGObject (also might take some time to complete) ---
try:
    from pycfutils.gstreamer import RegistryAccess
except ModuleException as e:
    print(e)
else:
    ra = RegistryAccess()
    print(ra.element_classes())

# --- Windows only ---
import pycfutils.gui

print(pycfutils.gui.message_box("Title", "Text to display", x=320, y=200))

Also, there are some useful (CLI wrapper) scripts in the tools folder. Check them:

• Nix:

  ls "pycfutils/tools"
  for script in $(find "pycfutils/tools" -maxdepth 1 -type f); do python "${script}" -h; done

• Win:

  dir /b "pycfutils\tools"
  for /f %g in ('dir /b /a-d /a-l "pycfutils\tools\*.py"') do (python "pycfutils\tools\%g" -h)

Or run them as modules (e.g. in 2 separate terminals). Example (Shell snippets that also work in Batch):

• Terminal 1:

  python -m pycfutils.tools.connect_to_server -a 127.0.0.1 -p 16180
  
  # Go to the other terminal and run the other command (start the server), then come back and re-run the previous command
  
  python -m pycfutils.tools.connect_to_server -a 127.0.0.1 -p 16180

• Terminal 2:

  python -m pycfutils.tools.start_server -a 127.0.0.1 -p 16180
