The Python Toolbox is a collection of Python tools for various tasks. It contains:

• python_toolbox.caching: Tools for caching functions, class instances and properties.

• python_toolbox.cute_iter_tools: Tools for manipulating iterables. Adds useful functions not found in Python's built-in itertools.

• python_toolbox.context_managers: Pimping up your context managers.

Please keep in mind that Python Toolbox is still in alpha stage, and that backward compatibility would not be maintained in this phase.

Python Toolbox is at version 0.2, which is an alpha release. It's being used in production every day, but backward compatibility isn't guaranteed yet.

Making Python Toolbox support Python 3.x, and the packaging arrangements necessary.

Adding more useful tools.

Make a 1.0 release and start maintaining backward compatibility.

All general discussion happens at the Python Toolbox Google Group. If you need help with the Python Toolbox, you're welcome to post your question and we'll try to help you.

The development mailing list is python-toolbox-dev. This is where we discuss the development of the Python Toolbox itself.

If you want to be informed on new releases of the Python Toolbox, sign up for the low-traffic python-toolbox-announce Google Group.

The Python Toolbox supports Python versions 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7.

It's tested on both CPython and PyPy.

It also supports PyPy 1.8. (Which runs Python 2.7.)

The Python Toolbox is at version 0.2, which is an alpha release. At this experimental stage of the project, backward compatibility will not be maintained.
