REAMDME

These utilities have evolved as I have been banging-out Python code for the last two years. The functions that I was re-using the most are included in this repository. Most of these came from working with Tweepy.

1. Copy *_util folder(s) to your project folder
2. Add the appropriate import to your code, for example:

import datetime_utils
import debug_utils
import file_utils
import tweepy_utils

• datetime_utils - UTC converters & daystart / midnight converter
  • local_to_utc(dt, naive=True)
  • midnight(dt)
  • utc_to_local(utc_dt)
• debug_utils - Debugging utilities ported from 20 years of coding in Visual Basic, SQL, etc.
  • enter(self, proc_sig, memo=None)
  • exit(self, memo=None)
  • current_proc(self)
  • print(self, *args, **kwargs)
  • eprint(self, *args, **kwargs)
• file_utils - Wrappers for saving CSV and YAML with optional BZip2 compression, plus touch() utility
  • save_csv(filename, rows, headers=None)
  • load_yaml(filename)
  • save_yaml(filename, data, batch_size=1000)
  • save_yaml_old(filename, data)
  • save_bad_tweet(tweet)
  • save_updated_tweet(tweet)
  • load_ids(filename)
  • save_ids(filename, ids)
  • touch(path, mode=0o644, create=True, utimes=None)
• tweepy_utils - Wrappers for Tweepy functions that employ "caching" to reduce API calls
  • get_blocked_ids()
  • add_list_members(list_info, user_ids=None, user_names=None)
  • extract_ids(list_of_objects)
  • get_friends_ids(id=None, screen_name=None)
  • get_followers_ids(id=None, screen_name=None)
  • get_list_members(owner, slug)
  • get_list_member_ids(owner, slug)
  • get_user_objects(user_ids, json_only=True)
  • remove_list_members(list_info, user_ids=None, user_names=None)
