Simplified general utilities.

find_nearest(array, value)	Return the element in array closest to value
find_nearest_index(array, value)	Returns the index of the element in array closest to value
get(key, ddict, default)	Returns dict[key] if this exists else default.
has(key, ddict)	Checks if the key is in the dict and not None.
times(s, n)	Concats string s n times.
true(key, ddict)	Checks if the key is in the dict and not None and True.

Functions

smpl.util.find_nearest(array, value)

Return the element in array closest to value

Examples

>>> find_nearest([1,7,6,2] , 1.9)
2

smpl.util.find_nearest_index(array, value)

Returns the index of the element in array closest to value

Examples

>>> find_nearest_index([1,7,6,2] , 1.9)
3

smpl.util.get(key, ddict, default)

Returns dict[key] if this exists else default.

Examples

>>> d = {'a' : 1 , 'b' : 2 , 'c' : 3}
>>> get('a',d,5)
1
>>> get('x',d,5)
5

smpl.util.has(key, ddict)

Checks if the key is in the dict and not None.

Examples

>>> d = {'a' : 1 , 'b' : 2 , 'c' : 3}
>>> has('a',d)
True
>>> has('x',d)
False

smpl.util.times(s, n)

Concats string s n times.

Examples

>>> times("hi",5)
'hihihihihi'

smpl.util.true(key, ddict)

Checks if the key is in the dict and not None and True.

Examples

>>> d = {'a' : True , 'b' : True , 'c' : False}
>>> true('a', d)
True
>>> true('c', d)
False
>>> true('x', d)
False
