Description

This extension gathers three functionalities:

• a logging function: :func:`fLOG <loghelper.flog.fLOG>`
• a function to synchronize two folders: :func:`synchronize_folder <sync.synchelper.synchronize_folder>`
• a function to generate a copy of a module, converting doxygen documentation in rst format: :func:`generate_help_sphinx <helpgen.sphinx_main.generate_help_sphinx>` (see also :func:`prepare_file_for_sphinx_help_generation <helpgen.utils_sphinx_doc.prepare_file_for_sphinx_help_generation>`), it requires the module is designed as this one (src, _doc folders).

The module is available on pypi/pyquickhelper and on GitHub/pyquickhelper.

Functionalities

• help generation
• folder synchronization
• logging
• import a flat file into a SQLite database
• help running unit tests
• functions to convert a pandas DataFrame into a HTML table or a RST table

Design

This project contains various helper about logging functions, unit tests and help generation.

• a source folder: src
• a unit test folder: _unittests, go to this folder and run run_unittests.py
• a _doc folder: _doc, it will contains the documentation
• a file setup.py to build and to install the module
• a file make_help.py to build the sphinx documentation
