genericlib 0.6.2a1
The Generic Python Library accelerates development with reusable utilities, supporting regexapp and textfsmgen while streamlining workflows, reducing redundancy, and enabling efficient, adaptable, maintainable applications.
License: BSD-3-Clause
Requires Python: >=3.9


# 📖 Overview

The **Generic Python Library** is a foundational toolkit designed to accelerate development and simplify common programming tasks. It provides essential support for the **regexapp** and **textfsmgen** packages, ensuring smooth integration and reliable functionality.  

Beyond package‑specific utilities, the library includes a wide range of **generic classes**, **methods**, and **functions** that developers can reuse across projects. These building blocks reduce repetitive coding, streamline workflows, and promote cleaner, more maintainable applications.  

By focusing on **efficiency**, **adaptability**, and **reusability**, the Generic Python Library empowers developers to build faster and smarter, while maintaining flexibility for diverse use cases.
