StryPy from the shell

Running StryPy in a shell environment is very easy and useful for any quick Python code you want to run, and provides a simple way to view the docstrings of the package.

Importing

To import the package use:

>>> import strypy as sp
>>> . . .

Useful commands

To view the docstrings of any function or module (or the whole package) use:

>>> print(sp.function-or-module.__doc__)
>>> # Real example
>>> print(sp.add.__doc__)
      '''
      Adds strings together, with spaces optional.
      >>> sp.add("hello", "world", spaces=True)
      'hello world'
      '''

To import only specific module use:

>>> import strypy.basics as sb
>>> . . .

To simply call a function use:

>>> sp.add("Hello", "World")
'Hello World'

A Real-World Example

This small example demonstrates StryPy’s quick and easy shell use to generate a random password and copy it to the clipboard for use:

>>> import strypy as sp                                 # Imports StryPy
>>> password = sp.randstr(minlength=8, maxlength=15)    # Creates random password
>>> sp.copy(password)                                   # Copys password to clipboard
