The Kitchen module provides a python API for all sorts of little useful
|
||
|
snippets of code that everybody ends up writing for their projects but never
|
||
|
seem big enough to build an independent release. Use kitchen and stop cutting
|
||
|
and pasting that code over and over.

Soft Requirements

=================
|

|
|
||
|
If found, these libraries will be used to make the implementation of soemthing
|
||
|
better in some way. If they are not present, the API that they enable will
|
||
|
still exist but may function in a different manner.
|
||
|
|
||
|
:chardet_: Used in kitchen.text.xml.guess_encoding__to_xml() to help guess encoding of
|
||
|
byte strings being converted. If not present, unknown encodings will be
|
||
|
converted as if they were latin1.

Other Recommended Libraries
|
||
|
---------------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
These libraries implement commonly used functionality that everyone seems to
|
||
|
invent. Rather than reinvent their wheel, I simply list the things that they
|
||
|
do well for now. Perhaps if people can't find them normally, I'll add them as
|
||
|
requirements in setup.py or link them into kitchen's namespace. For now, I
|
||
|
just mention them here:
|
||
|
|
||
|
:bunch_: Bunch is a dictionary that you can use attribute lookup as well as
|
||
|
bracket notation to access. Setting it apart from most homebrewed
|
||
|
implementations is the bunchify() function which will descend nested
|
||
|
structures of lists nad dicts, transforming the dicts to Bunch's.
