Pytools is a big bag of things that are "missing" from the Python standard library. This is mainly a dependency of my other software packages, and is probably of little interest to you unless you use those. If you're curious nonetheless, here's what's on offer: - A ton of small tool functions such as len_iterable, argmin, tuple generation, permutation generation, ASCII table pretty printing, GvR's mokeypatch_xxx() hack, the elusive flatten, and much more. - Michele Simionato's decorator module. - A time-series logging module, pytools.log. - Batch job submission, pytools.batchjob. - A lexer, pytools.lex.
