lcpy

lcpy, or lowercase values in Python, is a simple library that allows you to use values like true instead of True. I created this when I was teaching a student Python who kept forgetting to put in proper uppercase letters. It is super simple, and has very few drawbacks.

Download​

PyPI Package lc-py

The name of the package on PyPI is lc-py. (Sorry, lcpy was already taken!)

Usage​

To use the library, you will first need to put this at the top of any Python files that you want to use the lowercase values in:

from lcpy import *

and that is basically it, you can now use it.

Single-imports​

Some static analysis tools don't enjoy it when you use * imports. You can import single values by doing:

# replace false with the value you want
from lcpy import false

Values​

If you read the usage section and now have a basic understanding, here are the values you can use:

  • true
  • false
  • none
  • exception (new in v1.1.0)

The following values can only be used in v2.0.0 and above:

  • indexerror
  • environmenterror
  • eoferror
  • oserror
  • processlookuperror
  • fileexistserror
  • filenotfounderror
  • floatingpointerror
  • recursionerror
  • referenceerror
  • runtimeerror
  • arithmeticerror
  • assertionerror
  • attributeerror
  • baseexception
  • blockingioerror
  • brokenpipeerror
  • buffererror
  • childprocesserror
  • connectionabortederror
  • connectionrefusederror
  • connectionreseterror
  • interruptederror
  • isadirectoryerror
  • ioerror
  • importerror
  • indentationerror
  • keyerror
  • lookuperror
  • modulenotfounderror
