logilab-common.3
A brief description of the available modules:
* `cache`, a cache implementation with a least recently used algorithm.
* `changelog`, a tiny library to manipulate our simplified ChangeLog file format.
* `clcommands`, high-level classes to define command line programs handling different subcommands. It is based on `configuration` to get easy command line / configuration file handling.
* `cli`, a base class for interactive programs using the command line.
* `configuration`, some classes to handle unified configuration from both command line (using optparse) and configuration file (using ConfigParser).
* `dbf`, read Visual Fox Pro DBF files.
* `proc`, interface to Linux /proc.
* `umessage`, unicode email support.
* `ureports`, micro-reports, a way to create simple reports using python objects without care of the final formatting. ReST and html formatters are provided.
* `compat`, provides a transparent compatibility layer between different python versions.
* `date`, a set of date manipulation functions.
* `daemon`, a daemon function and mix-in class to properly start an Unix daemon process.
* `decorators`, function decorators such as cached, timed...
* `deprecation`, decorator, metaclass & all to mark functions / classes as deprecated or moved
* `fileutils`, some file / file path manipulation utilities.
* `graph`, graph manipulations functions such as cycle detection, bases for dot file generation.
* `modutils`, python module manipulation functions.
* `shellutils`, some powerful shell like functions to replace shell scripts with python scripts.
* `tasksqueue`, a prioritized tasks queue implementation.
* `textutils`, some text manipulation functions (ansi colorization, line wrapping, rest support...).
* `tree`, base class to represent tree structure, and some others to make it works with the visitor implementation (see below).
* `visitor`, a generic visitor pattern implementation.
* `debugger`, `pdb` customization.
* `logging_ext`, extensions to `logging` module such as a colorized formatter and an easier initialization function.
* `optik_ext`, defines some new option types (regexp, csv, color, date, etc.) for `optik` / `optparse`
* `xmlrpcutils`, auth support for XML-RPC
* `corbautils`, useful functions for use with the OmniORB_ CORBA library.
* `hg`, some Mercurial_ utility functions.
* `pdf_ext`, pdf and fdf file manipulations, with pdftk.
* `pyro_ext`, some Pyro_ utility functions.
* `sphinx_ext`, Sphinx_ plugin defining a `autodocstring` directive.
* `vcgutils` , utilities functions to generate file readable with Georg Sander's vcg tool (Visualization of Compiler Graphs).
These `logilab.common` modules will probably be deprecated in future versions:
* `testlib`: use `unittest2`_ instead
* `pytest`: use `discover`_ instead
* `interface`: use `zope.interface`_ if you really want this
* `table`, `xmlutils`: is that used?
* `sphinxutils`: we won't go that way imo (i == syt)
These `logilab.common` modules are only for backward compatibility. They can go away at anytime.
* `optparser`: use `clcommands` instead
* `adbh`, `db`, `sqlgen`: see `logilab.database`_ instead
* `contexts`: content move to `shellutils`
* `html`: deprecated without replacement
