package documentation

A collection of small singular tools, useful when composing more complex tasks

Module	`akn`	Lookup of AKN
Module	`collocation`	Quick and dirty version of some collocation code.
Module	`date`	Try to deal with varied forms of dates and times, and ease things like "I would like to specify a range of days in a particular format" (e.g. for bulk fetching), and such.
Module	`escape`	Make it easier to safely insert text into URLs, and HTML and XML data.
Module	`etree`	Helpers to deal with XML data, largely a wrapper around lxml and its ElementTree interface.
Module	`format`	Formatting varied types of values into text, (and sometimes parsing the same), mostly for readability
Module	`koop_parse`	Data and metadata parsing that is probably specific to KOOP's SRU repositories.
Module	`lazy`	Various functions that allow you to be (a little too) lazy - less typing and/or less thinking.
Module	`localdata`	This is intended to store store collections of data on disk, relatively unobtrusive to use (better than e.g. lots of files), and with quick random access (better than e.g. JSONL).
Module	`meta`	Things that parse metadata.
Module	`net`	network related helper functions, such as fetching from URLs
Module	`notebook`	Tools for jupyter/ipython-style notebooks, and detection that you are, or are _not_, using one right now.
Module	`patterns`	Extracting specific patterns of text.
Module	`shellcolor`	(should arguably be in extras) Eases production of colors in the terminal, mostly for a few command line debug tools.
Module	`spacy`	helper functions related to spacy natural language parsing.
Module	`split`	This module tries to wrangle distinct types of documents for you, from HTML to PDF, from varied specific sources, into plain text, so that you can consume it more easily.
Module	`strings`	mostly-basic string helper functions
Module	`util`	General utility functions, like "give me a path to where wetsuite can store data" and debug tools to the end of inspecting data.
