Trickkiste is a Python library (v0.3.7) offering a collection of miscellaneous utility functions for string manipulation, list operations, system info, web scraping, and more. It aims to provide quick, ready-to-use solutions for common programming tasks. Releases are generally infrequent, focusing on adding new utilities rather than frequent breaking changes.

version

✓ from trickkiste import version

✗ from trickkiste.string import get_random_string

Demonstrates importing and using two common utility functions: `get_random_string` for generating random strings and `get_random_item` for selecting a random element from a list.

from trickkiste.string import get_random_string from trickkiste.list import get_random_item # Generate a random string of a specified length random_str = get_random_string(length=10, alphabet='ascii_lowercase') print(f"Random String: {random_str}") # Get a random item from a list my_list = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'date'] random_item = get_random_item(my_list) print(f"Random Item from list: {random_item}")

Debug

Known issues

breakingThe library has a strict Python version requirement, explicitly forbidding Python 4.0+ and requiring Python >= 3.10.4.

fix

Ensure your Python environment is between 3.10.4 and 3.99.x. Upgrade Python if below 3.10.4, or use a virtual environment with a compatible version.

affects: All versions

gotchaFunctions are organized into submodules (e.g., `string`, `list`, `web`). You must import directly from the submodule, not the top-level `trickkiste` package.

fix

Instead of `import trickkiste` then `trickkiste.string.get_random_string()`, use `from trickkiste.string import get_random_string`.

affects: All versions

gotchaThe `web.get_request_data` function is specifically designed to work within a Flask application's request context. Calling it outside this context will result in a runtime error.

fix

Only use `web.get_request_data` inside a Flask route or a function called from a Flask request context. For general HTTP request data outside Flask, consider using `requests` directly.

affects: All versions

gotchaThe `web` module functions (e.g., `get_html_soup`, `get_request_data`) have external dependencies (`beautifulsoup4`, `requests`, `flask`) that are installed with `trickkiste`. Be aware of these if you only intend to use other utility functions.

fix

No direct fix needed as dependencies are handled by `pip`, but be mindful of the installed packages if you have strict dependency management or wish to minimize installed libraries.
