vsutillib 1.6.4

Description:

vsutillib 1.6.4

These are a collection of functions and classes that I use on
my applications to made easier to maintain I decided to release
it and install as a dependency of apps like mkvbatchmultiplex.

Description
A range of functions and classes with a variety of uses for
example:


functions



getFileList - return the files on a directory in
list of pathlib.Path objects




findFile - find a file in the system Path
return a pathlib.Path object if found




getExecutable - find executable file
in PATH and the normal installation paths for Windows
and macOS for linux is like findFile






classes



RunCommand - execute command in subprocess and capture
output optionally apply regular expression searches
and apply a supplied function to receive every line
read and process them as needed




ConfigurationSettings - maintain a set of ConfigurationSettings
in a dictionary and saved it in xml file






utilities



mkvrun - CLI utility to execute MKVToolNix generated
command line. MKVBatchMultiplex is a GUI implementation
of this and the main reason this module goes public.




apply2files - apply a command to all files in the directory
specified in recursive by default








and so on…
