This package has a bunch of small functions that I find useful while working in python. Most of the functions are in a module called "dlnpyutils".

Until I get this in pypi the best way is the usual git clone and setup install:

git clone https://github.com/dnidever/dlnpyutils.git
cd dlnpyutils
python setup.py install

To import all of the package functions into the namespace do:

from dlnpyutils.dlnpyutils import *

dlnpyutils:

• mad: median absolute deviation of array
• minmax: minimum and maximum of an array
• stat: many useful statistics of an array
• strlen: number of characters in a string array or list
• strip: strip whitespace from string array or list
• strjoin: combine string arrays or scalars
• strsplit: split string arrays
• pathjoin: join two pathname components
• first_el: return the first element of an array or list
• grep: grep on a string array
• readlines: read a file into a string array
• writelines: write a string array to a file
• remove_indices: remove certain indices from an array
• numlines: return the number of lines in a file
• basiclogger: return a basic logger to the screen and optionally a file
• remove: delete multiple files and allow for non-existence
• lt: takes the lesser of x or limit
• gt: takes the greater of x or limit
• limit: require x to be within upper and lower limits
• gaussian: return Gaussian plus constant
• gaussfit: fit a 1-D Gaussian to X/Y data
• poly: evaluate a polynomial function of a variable
• slope: derivative or slope of an array
