7.2. utils

It contains utility classes and functions.

The utils module contains classes and functions of general utility used in multiple places throughout schedula. Some of these are graph-specific algorithms while others are more python tricks.

The utils module is composed of eleven submodules to make organization clearer. The submodules are fairly different from each other, but the main uniting theme is that all of these submodules are not specific to a particularly schedula application.

Note

The utils module is composed of submodules that can be accessed separately. However, they are all also included in the base module. Thus, as an example, schedula.utils.gen.Token and schedula.utils.Token are different names for the same class (Token). The schedula.utils.Token usage is preferred as this allows the internal organization to be changed if it is deemed necessary.

Sub-Modules:

alg	It contains basic algorithms, numerical tricks, and data processing tasks.
base	It provides a base class to for dispatcher objects.
cst	It provides constants data node ids and values.
des	It provides tools to find data, function, and sub-dispatcher node description.
drw	It provides functions to plot dispatcher map and workflow.
dsp	It provides tools to create models with the Dispatcher().
exc	Defines the dispatcher exception.
gen	It contains classes and functions of general utility.
io	It provides functions to read and save a dispatcher from/to files.
sol	It contains a comprehensive list of all modules and classes within dispatcher.
web	It provides functions to build a flask app from a dispatcher.
