- aveDev(vector)
- Return tuple of ave. and standard dev. of the input list of values, or
array of values
- char_range(c1='A', c2='z', num=None)
- Generates the characters from `c1` to `c2`, inclusive.
If num is specified, return a sequence with only num elements.
- duration(start, end)
- Return duration (in seconds) between start and end times.
This function is useful for timing the duration of an Xplor-NIH run. The
arguments start and end are strings specifying the start and end times of
the run. Their format is of the type 'hh:mm:ss dd-Mmm-yy', e.g., as in
'14:07:58 17-Jun-15' (this is the format used by the "entry time" or "exit
time" at end of an Xplor-NIH logfile).
It is assumed the years are in the 2000's.
- fileContentsOrString(filenameOrString, splitLines=False, contentRegExp='[0-9. ]+', dbEnvVar=None)
- The argument is the name of a file or a string of contents.
If the argument corresponds to an existing file, it is read and its
contents returned. Otherwise, if the string contains a newline
character or matches (via re.match) the contentRegExp pattern,
this string is returned. If neither of these conditions is met, this
argument is assumed to be a non-existant file, and an exception is thrown.
If the splitLines argument is True, a list of strings split on newline
characters is returned.
The returned value is a tuple of the returned contents and a filename,
the later of which is replaced with the literal '[string]' in the case
the argument does not correspond to a filename.
- getDBfilename(filename, dbEnvVar)
- Determine whether filename is in local directory or in the environment
variable whose name is dbEnvVar, and return the appropriate path.
- printReStructuredText(rstString, outputType='txt', cachePrefix=None, cacheDir=None, cacheTime=None)
- Print out reStructuredText as raw rst, markup-stripped txt, HTML or
displayed as a pdf, depending on the outputType argument. Valid values are
"rst", "txt", "html" and "pdf".
The cache- arguments configured location and names for a cached PDF
version which is regenerated if cacheTime > modification time of the
cached PDF.
- processReStructuredText(rstString, outputType='txt', part='whole', settings_overrides={'output_encoding': 'unicode'})
- Process reStructuredText given in rstString and output as a string
in one of the following formats: "rst", "txt", "html", "tex", as specified
by the outputType argument.
