WZK

Abbreviation of the German noun "WerkZeugKasten" (~"toolbox")

---

A mixed collection of "fairly general" functions I use across different projects. The functions are structured with respect to the existing module they extend, or the functionality they facilitate.

Attention

This module has wrappers for multiprocessing and matplotlib and sets some backend flags for those. This should not interfere with anything else but be aware of it.

• matplotlib
  • sets backend via mpl.use('TkAgg')
• multiprocessing
  • limit the threads used by numpy / scipy to 1 see StackOverflow

  os.environ['MKL_NUM_THREADS'] = '1'
  os.environ['OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS'] = '1'
  os.environ['NUMEXPR_NUM_THREADS'] = '1'
  os.environ['VECLIB_MAXIMUM_THREADS'] = '1'
  os.environ['OMP_NUM_THREADS'] = '1'
  

make sure you import wzk before matplotlib / numpy to get the expected behavior

This repo has nothing to do with Werkzeug. They just seem to have the same humor.
