Python utilities in order to make your coding life easier
Some of the functions, are unable to run as a single python code so you have to create Django project.

Also use python3

Sanitize user's input

All functions return the data if all checks are ok.
If there is any strange character that doesn't match, a custom Exception is raised

Example 1:

import sanitize
data = 'rocky_99'
try:
	sanitize.alphanumeric(data)
    # Register user 
except sanitize.SanitizationException as e:
	print(e)

Example 2:

Check for password strength. If password is strength (check function comments),
the same password is returned. Otherwise Exception is raised

import sanitize
data = 'p@as$wor!2'

try:
	sanitize.password_check(data)
	# Do what you need
except sanitize.SanitizationException as e:
	# Something is wrong, print the errors
	print(e)

Create random unique string

unique.get

Returns a random unique string. Uniquines is based on timestamp. Default length is 8.
Argumentrs: length, prefix, suffix, invalid_chars

Example 1:

If you need to get a random unique string of 16 chars with prefix 'user'

get(16, 'user')

Example 2:

If you need to get a random unique string of 6 chars but don't use the chars 'ofdA'

avoid_chars = 'ofdAre'
get(6, invalid_chars=avoid_chars)

Time calculator

First of all you need to import datetime

Days from today

Returns the date after given days. If true is passed, hence will be calculated backwords

Example 1:

If you need to get the date after one week

days_hence(7)

Example 2:

If you need to get the date before 5 days

calculate_back = True
days_hence(5, calculate_back)

Ensure age of at least 18 years old.

Example 1:

Find if the given birthdate is adult. Default adult years are 18.

sample_date = datetime.date(1987, 8, 13)
is_adult(sample_date)

If the given date is over 18 years old, returns True else False

Example 2:

sample_date = datetime.date(1987, 8, 13)
adult_years = 21
is_adult(sample_date, adult_years)

In some countries adultd age differs, so pass the years you need

Make requests to external sites

Example 1:

Make a request and return the answer in json format. Chech function definition for more.

send_request('GET', 'some/api/', return_json=True, debug=True)
