Brief Introduction

---

A library of useful python scripts imported through HTTP requests to the catalog, a dictionary of raw URLs to scripts; maintained and contributed to by the open-source community.

• Due to be updated (without notice) regularly as more scripts are introduced, however the community should aim to keep existing files in their respective directories.

Instructions

---

Library can either be utilised by downloading the relevant libs locally or rather (as suggested below) by sending a HTTP request to the raw catalog URL (which itself redirects to the relevant python script/s), to then execute that locally with the exec() function.

Shown below is the code contained within library.py, which should be downloaded and placed in the same directory as it is wished to be used.

import requests

BASE_URL = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ivanl-exe/library/main/catalog/'

def __format_name__(name: str) -> str:
    if name[-4:].find('.py') == -1:
        name += '.py'
    return name

def __format_dir__(dir: str) -> str:
    if dir.rfind('/') != len(dir) - 1:
        dir += '/'
    return dir

def borrow(filename: str) -> str:
    url = ''.join([
        __format_dir__(BASE_URL),
        filename
    ])

    for i in range(2):
        response = requests.get(url)
        if response.status_code != 200: return ''
        if i == 1:
            code = response.text
            break
        url = response.text
    return code

def save(filename: str, save_directory: str = ''):
    save_directory = ''.join([__format_dir__(save_directory), __format_name__(filename)])
    
    code = borrow(filename)
    file = open(save_directory, 'w')

    file.write(
        '\n'.join([l.replace('    ', '', 1) for l in code.split('\n') if l.find('class') == -1])
    )
    return code

---

At the start of the python application import the library.py file to utilise the functions. Specify the file location if not in the current working directory (pwd)

import library

---

library.borrow()

exec(library.borrow(__FILE_NAME__))

• Example

from time import sleep
import library
for lib in ('ascii', 'cli'):
    exec(library.borrow(lib))

s = 'Hello, World!'
while True:
    cli.clear()
    s = ascii.rotate(s, 1)
    print(s, end = '')
    sleep(0.1)

---

library.save()

exec(library.save(__FILE_NAME__[, __DIRECTORY__]))

• Example

import library

for lib in ('ascii', 'cli'):
    library.save(lib)
    print(f'{lib} successfully saved to the pwd')
