zcode

Python package for general purpose utility code for a variety of (scientific/computational) applications.

Package Organization

### Contents: - zcode/ - Actual source code.

• inout/ - IO. - inout_core.py - Basics. - log.py - Logging related.
• math/ - Math and array. - hist.py - Histograms and binning. - math_core.py - Basics.
• plot/ - Plotting and visualization. - color2d.py - Creating 2D colormaps. - CorrelationGrid.py - Triangle plot of parameter correlations and histograms. - Hist2D.py - Creating 2D histograms with projections. - plot_core.py - Basics.
• test.sh - Simple script to run nosetests.

• CHANGES.rst - Versioned updates to the code base.
• LICENSE - Standard license information.
• MANIFEST.in - File inventory for packaging information.
• setup.py - Python setup script for installation.
• setup.sh - Standard installation for package.
• version.py - Version file for setup-script (superfluous?).

#### Tests: Each subdirectory (e.g. 'math/') contains a 'tests/' directory which includes methods for internal diagnostics and testing. These can all be run using the zcode/test.sh script. They can also be run individually using something like,

$ nosetests math/tests/test_math_core.py $ nosetests math/tests/test_math_core.py:TestMathCore.test_round $ python math/tests/test_math_core.py

For verbose (complete) output, use the --nocapture flag.

#### Deprecations: When deprecating a function/object/method, use a warning like:

warnings.warn("Some warning...", DeprecationWarning, stacklevel=3)

This is wrapped in utils.dep_warn():

``` def modifyFilename(*args, **kwargs):

utils.dep_warn("modifyFilename", newname="modify_filename") return modify_filename(*args, **kwargs)

```
