> All Python tools you'll likely need to work with Automation Anywhere

**aa-pytools** is a comprehensive Python library designed to streamline integration between Python applications and Automation Anywhere RPA platform. It provides essential tools, decorators, and utilities that make RPA development more efficient and reliable.

## 🚀 Features

### Core Functionality

- [x] **Advanced Logging System** - Centralized, configurable logging with auto-configuration
- [x] **Safe Execution Decorator** - Error handling with structured payloads and timing information

### Automation Anywhere Integration

- [ ] **Vault Credential Management** - Secure credential fetching from Automation Anywhere vault
- [ ] **Execution Management** - Run and monitor Automation Anywhere executions from Python
- [ ] **REST API Integration** - Complete API client for Automation Anywhere services

### Specialized Decorators

- [x] **`@safe_execute`** - Execute functions safely with comprehensive error handling
- [ ] **`@with_vault("SAP")`** - Automatic credential injection from vault
- [ ] **`@retry_on_failure`** - Intelligent retry mechanism for transient failures
- [ ] **`@timeout(30)`** - Execution timeout protection
- [ ] **`@transactional`** - Transaction management for complex operations
- [ ] **`@queue_worker("INVOICES")`** - Queue-based processing capabilities
- [ ] **`@aa_safe_run`** - Automation Anywhere-specific safe execution

## 📦 Installation

```bash
pip install aa-pytools
```

**Requirements:**

- Python 3.13 or higher
- No external dependencies for core functionality

## 🎯 Quick Start

### Basic Usage

```python
from aa_pytools.decorators import safe_execute
from aa_pytools.core import get_logger

# Use the safe execution decorator
@safe_execute
def risky_operation(data):
    # Your code here
    return process_data(data)

result = risky_operation(my_data)
if result["status"]:
    print(f"Success: {result['result']}")
else:
    print(f"Error: {result['error']}")

# Logging with auto-configuration
logger = get_logger("my_module")
logger.info("This message will be automatically formatted and handled")
```

### Advanced Logging

```python
from aa_pytools.core import configure_logging, get_logger
from pathlib import Path

# Configure custom logging
configure_logging(
    level="DEBUG",
    log_file=Path("logs/app.log"),
    console=True,
    format_string="%(asctime)s | %(name)s | %(levelname)s | %(message)s"
)

logger = get_logger("my_component")
logger.debug("Detailed debugging information")
```
