ubiquerg
Various utility functions
What it is and what it does
Ubiquerg is a lightweight utility library that bundles small, generic helper functions intended for use across multiple projects. It follows a strict no-dependency policy—all functions rely only on Python's standard library—and organizes utilities into logical groups covering collections, environment variables, file operations, paths, system calls, web tasks, and CLI tools. Each function is kept simple and focused on low-level, reusable operations rather than application-specific logic.
The package is designed as a shared foundation for projects that need common utility operations without introducing external dependencies. It is actively maintained, supports modern Python versions, and carries no security vulnerabilities. Use it when you want to avoid reimplementing basic utilities or when you need a dependency-free toolkit for common tasks across your codebase.
Use it for:
- Extract common utility functions used across multiple internal projects into a single, dependency-free package.
- Build CLI tools that need path manipulation, environment variable handling, and system calls without adding external dependencies.
- Manage collections, file I/O, and web-related helper functions in a shared library for consistent behavior.
- Provide a lightweight foundation for workflows that require basic utilities without heavy dependencies.
Worth the install?
AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Ubiquerg provides a collection of low-level utility functions organized by category (collection, environment, files, paths, system, web, cli_tools) with no external dependencies, designed for reuse across multiple projects.
Yes. Ubiquerg is actively maintained, has zero external dependencies, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is released under a permissive license. It is worth installing if you need a lightweight, reusable collection of utility functions across multiple projects or want to avoid dependency bloat for common operations. The strict no-dependency policy and focus on generic, low-level functions make it a safe choice for shared infrastructure.
