The apptools project includes a set of packages that Enthought has found useful in creating a number of applications. They implement functionality that is commonly needed by many applications
- apptools.io: Provides an abstraction for files and folders in a file system.
- apptools.logger: Convenience functions for creating logging handlers
- apptools.naming: Manages naming contexts, supporting non-string data types and scoped preferences
- apptools.persistence: Supports pickling the state of a Python object to a dictionary, which can then be flexibly applied in restoring the state of the object.
- apptools.preferences: Manages application preferences.
- apptools.selection: Manages the communication between providers and listener of selected items in an application.
- apptools.scripting: A framework for automatic recording of Python scripts.
- apptools.undo: Supports undoing and scripting application commands.
