UBelt documentation¶

UBelt is a “utility belt” of commonly needed utility and helper functions. It is a currated collection of top-level utilities with functionality that falls into a mixture of categories.

The source code is available at https://github.com/Erotemic/ubelt. We also have Jupyter notebook demos.

The ubelt API is organized by submodules containing related functionality. Each submodule contains top level overview documentation, and each function contains a docstring with at least one example.

NOTE: The README on github contains information and examples complementary to these docs.

The API by usefulness¶

Perhaps the most useful way to learn this API is to sort by “usefulness”. I measure usefulness as the number of times I’ve used a particular function in my own code (excluding ubelt itself).
