Python Toolbox aka TBX is a collection of very different tools created over the years to simplify my coding. As a library, this has no purpose by itself and should be used by other projects.

Project url : https://github.com/ronhanson/python-tbx

The library contains several unrelated tool collections :

• tbx.bytes - Byte manipulation

  Allows encoding and decoding of various formats.

• tbx.code - Useful coding tools

  Singleton, method documentation parsing, module lazy-load, serializable object, etc.

  Recursive file listing, linux based unzip/untar/etc.

  Server creation helpers, event handlers. Based on awesome pyftpdlib.

Just look at the code as it is commented for your to understand its usage.

No big doc made yet. This is more of a personal collection of snippets and tools.

But if somebody is interested or requests it, I will make a better doc.

This libraries are used most on Linux and OSX systems, but plenty of functions may work on windows.

This libraries are compatibles with Python 2.X and Python 3.X.

Mainly tested on 2.7 and 3.4.
