Decorators

edsl.utilities.decorators.add_edsl_version(func)[source]: Decorator for EDSL objects’ to_dict method. - Adds the EDSL version and class name to the dictionary.

edsl.utilities.decorators.jupyter_nb_handler(func)[source]: Decorator to run an async function in the event loop if it’s running, or synchronously otherwise.

Pastebin

Utilities

Utility functions for working with strings, dictionaries, and files.

class edsl.utilities.utilities.CustomEncoder(*, skipkeys=False, ensure_ascii=True, check_circular=True, allow_nan=True, sort_keys=False, indent=None, separators=None, default=None)[source]

Bases: JSONEncoder

default(obj)[source]

Implement this method in a subclass such that it returns a serializable object for o, or calls the base implementation (to raise a TypeError).

For example, to support arbitrary iterators, you could implement default like this:

def default(self, o):
    try:
        iterable = iter(o)
    except TypeError:
        pass
    else:
        return list(iterable)
    # Let the base class default method raise the TypeError
    return super().default(o)

class edsl.utilities.utilities.HTMLSnippet(value)[source]

Bases: str

Create an object with html content (value).

view method allows you to view the html content in a web browser.

view()[source]: View the HTML content in a web browser.

edsl.utilities.utilities.clean_json(bad_json_str)[source]: Clean JSON string by replacing single quotes with double quotes

edsl.utilities.utilities.create_valid_var_name(s, transform_func: ~typing.Callable = <function <lambda>>) → str[source]: Create a valid variable name from a string.

edsl.utilities.utilities.dict_hash(data: dict)[source]

edsl.utilities.utilities.dict_to_html(d)[source]: Convert a dictionary to an HTML table.

edsl.utilities.utilities.extract_json_from_string(text)[source]

edsl.utilities.utilities.file_notice(file_name)[source]: Print a notice about the file being created.

edsl.utilities.utilities.fix_partial_correct_response(text: str) → dict[source]

edsl.utilities.utilities.hash_value(value: str | int) → str[source]: Hash a string or integer value using SHA-256.

edsl.utilities.utilities.shorten_string(s, max_length, placeholder='...')[source]: Shorten a string to a maximum length by removing characters from the middle.

edsl.utilities.utilities.shortname_proposal(question, max_length=None)[source]: Take a question text and generate a slug.

edsl.utilities.utilities.text_to_shortname(long_text, forbidden_names=[])[source]: Create a slug for the question.

edsl.utilities.utilities.time_it(func)[source]

edsl.utilities.utilities.valid_json(json_string)[source]: Check if a string is valid JSON.

edsl.utilities.utilities.write_api_key_to_env(api_key: str) → str[source]

Write the user’s Expected Parrot key to their .env file.

If a .env file doesn’t exist in the current directory, one will be created.

Returns a string representing the absolute path to the .env file.
