Because most of these utilities were created to build things, and contributing to the stdlib has never been on one of those critical paths? But really, @marmaduke's got it right. The standard library has a MUCH higher barrier to entry

Library author and lazy README updater here to report that technically as of October 09, 2018, boltons is 79 types and 146 functions, for a grand total of 225 utilities. While I'm here, here are the ones I use most: - OrderedMultiDict:

Here was a recent high-profile but somewhat contentious transition: https://github.com/pypa/pipenv/issues/2191 The key here was that the rapid pace of the project kept breaking various user segments' exp

Hehe, boltons.typeutils.make_sentinel should really be documented better for more experienced developers. A few small advantages: a nice repr, pickleability, and (back to the first advantage really) good rendering in a Sphinx autodoc contex

Did you seriously just recommend Requests, a project which uses "Non-GMO", "organic", and "grass-fed" to describe itself on the very page you linked, as a good example of not using buzzwords? Come on. kreitz

I wouldn't recommend dynamically generating strings. Strings are just a shorthand for Path objects, use Path instead: http://glom.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#specifier-type...

I think y'all might be getting a bit up in arms about a non-issue. Seasoned glommers (and experienced Pythonists), will almost always be using T: http://glom.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#object-oriente...

DRF still takes care of negotiating formats, etc., but it replaces the serializers. I'll see about getting an example in the repo, stay tuned.

You're yellin at a tutorial man. You gotta let some flavor text slide. :) That said, I'm no liar. Kurt and I (as a team), really did write stuff leading up to glom in 2013 (years ago), and have written stuff like it enough times t

The big, classical school of Python definitely prefers top-level functions. Still, I definitely understand that aesthetic, and am on board with not using functools.partial to achieve it. So: https://github.com/mahmoud/g

Hey Ka-Ping! Maybe I did get carried away :) How I wish one could publish a dry document and expect people to read all the way to the bottom. I've published enough libraries to know that's not the case. glom's free software s

That's a great example! Mind if I use it? ;)

Filtering is supported through the OMIT value: http://glom.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#glom.OMIT (another example: http://glom.readthedocs.io/en/latest/snippets.html#filtered-... )

The real advantage over toolz/get_in is in the breadth of types glom can support ( http://glom.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#setup-and-regi... ), the extensive fallback behavior ( http://glom.read

What's really interesting is that we're approaching the same ideal state from different directions. Specter goes from Clojure's immutability to something more practical, from Python's super dynamic system to something mo

by mhashemi 8y ago
From within Python, all objects are supported by default. If you can parse it, you can glom it. You can even register additional behaviors for specific types to keep your specs tight: http://glom.readthedocs.io/en/lates

by mhashemi 8y ago
It depends on the complexity of the spec, but we've already done some programmatic building of glomspecs, so for many cases I think the answer is yes! Once we feel out the patterns I think glom will gain some utilities for this purpose

Total coincidence! Reading the README, Nathan and I are definitely on the same wavelength though. When I get a chance I'll add it to the analogies doc: http://glom.readthedocs.io/en/latest/by_analogy.html :)

by mhashemi 8y ago
glom not only supports more than string keys, it also supports assigning to non-dictionary objects. That's a part of the API we're working on right now, actually. As for the data insertion, mutation may be in the future, but for n

Oh nice! Total coincidence, I assure you. Still, I should read on this and add it to the analogy doc: http://glom.readthedocs.io/en/latest/by_analogy.html Declarative data transformation generates a lot of compari

by mhashemi 8y ago
Haha, I'm all for console usage, but let me tell you, there's nothing quite like that feeling of moving a working spec into a dedicated application with exception handling, logging, etc. :)

That great! The PyPA works hard to make pip+pypi behave intuitively. That said, a lot of more applications need more machinery, yielding utilities like pip-tools[0] and conda. [0]: https://github.com/jazzband/pip-tools

Absolutely! The post mentions a little bit how pip is definitely used for distributing command-line applications, from fab to pex to ansible. So much so that pipsi[0] is a thing. Even the tiny static site generator used to generate the post
