Designed to ease:
handling command line options and configuration files
writing interactive command line tools
manipulation files and character strings
interfacing to OmniORB
generating SQL queries
running unit tests
manipulating tree structures
generating text and HTML reports
logging
parsing XML processing instructions
more…
Installation

logservice.py: Deprecated module. Use logging from stdlib.
modutils.py : Module manipulation utilities.
monclient.py: Deprecated module
monserver.py: Deprecated module
optik_ext : Add an abstraction level to transparently import optik classes from optparse (python >= 2.3) or the optik package. It also defines two new option types (regexp, csv, color, date…)
optparser.py: extend optparse’s OptionParser to support commands
patricia.py : A Python implementation of PATRICIA trie (Practical Algorithm to Retrieve Information Coded in Alphanumeric).
pdf_ext.py: pdf and fdf file manipulations, with pdftk.
pytest.py: unittest runner. See testlib
shellutils.py: Some utilities to replace shell scripts with python scripts.
sqlgen.py : Helper class to generate SQL strings to use with python’s DB-API.
table.py: manage tabular data (supports column and row names, sorting, grouping…
testlib.py : Generic tests execution methods.
textutils.py: Some text manipulation utilities (ansi colorization, line wrapping, rest support…)
tree.py : Base class to represent tree structure, and some others to make it works with the visitor implementation (see below).
umessage.py: unicode email support
ureports: Provides a way to create simple reports using python objects without care of the final formatting. Some formatters text and html are provided.
vcgutils.py : utilities functions to generate file readable with Georg Sander’s vcg (Visualization of Compiler Graphs).
visitor.py : A generic visitor pattern implementation.
twisted_distutils.py This module enables the installation of plugins.tml files using standard distutils syntax. Note that you can use this to install files that are not twisted plugins in any package directory of your application.
xmlrpcutils.py: Auth support for XML RPC
