fpyutils

4.0.1 verified Fri May 01 auth: no python

A collection of useful non-standard Python functions that are simple to use, highly readable but not efficient. Current version is 4.0.1, which drops Python 2 support and requires Python >=3.7 <4. The library is in active development with a recent release in 2024.

pip install fpyutils

Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fpyutils.file' ↓

cause Trying to import from submodules after version 4.0.0 reorganization.

fix

Change import to 'from fpyutils import get_file_list' or the specific function you need.

error AttributeError: module 'fpyutils' has no attribute 'get_file_list' ↓

cause Using an older version where functions were in submodules, or a typo in function name.

fix

Check your fpyutils version (pip show fpyutils) and upgrade to 4.x. Use 'from fpyutils import get_file_list'.

Warnings

breaking Functions were moved to top-level package in version 4.0.0. Submodule imports like 'from fpyutils.file import ...' no longer work. ↓

fix Use 'from fpyutils import function_name' instead.

deprecated Support for Python 2 was dropped in version 4.0.0. The library now requires Python >=3.7. ↓

fix Upgrade to Python 3.7 or later.

gotcha The library explicitly states it is 'not efficient'. Do not rely on fpyutils for performance-critical code. ↓

fix Use standard library or optimized alternatives for heavy operations.

Imports

get_path_tuple_from_relative_file
wrong
```
from fpyutils.path import get_path_tuple_from_relative_file
```
correct
```
from fpyutils import get_path_tuple_from_relative_file
```
In version 4.x, many functions moved to the top-level package; importing from submodules may break.
get_file_list
wrong
```
from fpyutils.file import get_file_list
```
correct
```
from fpyutils import get_file_list
```
In version 4.x, the file module was reorganized; use top-level import.

Quickstart

Basic usage: list all .txt files in the current directory.

from fpyutils import get_file_list

files = get_file_list('.', extension_filter='.txt')
print(files)
