handy

Some handy python functions for statistics, computation and plotting.

Document

See the docstring of each function. It is pretty good in general.

Install

Just clone 'handy' to a directory on your computer. I used to use put handy at ~/lib/handy.

cd ~/lib/
git clone https://github.com/syrte/handy.git

Optionally, you can set the enviroment variable, so that Python knows where to find it hereafter.

echo "export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/lib:$PYTHONPATH" >> ~/.bashrc

I might consider pushing it to pypi.org in the future.

Usage

If you have set PYTHONPATH in .bashrc as above, then you can simply import handy in Python

import handy

Otherwise, you should tell Python where to find it before importing

import sys
sys.path.append('path_dir/')

import handy

Note that path_dir should the the absolute path of the parent directory where you placed 'handy', in my case, it is /home/username/lib/.

Update

cd ~/lib/handy
git pull
