extras

extras is a set of extensions to the Python standard library, originally written to make the code within testtools cleaner, but now split out for general use outside of a testing context.

Documentation

pydoc extras is your friend. extras currently contains the following functions:

Which do what their name suggests.

History

extras used to be testtools.helpers, and was factored out when folk wanted to use it separately.
