bagof

bagof is a namespace package that houses miscellaneous tools that I found useful when implementing python packages.

The core idea behind this project is that each "bag" can be installed on its own, and with a minimal set of dependencies (none when possible, other bags when useful, well-known external packages only if necessary).

Another important point is to ensure compatibility with (some) older versions of python, even if they have reached end of life. Python has a 5-year support policy for each version (2 years of bug fixes + 3 years of security updates), which is quite short compared to most research projects. While updating python is preferred for security reasons, it is sometimes not possible, and I would like these users to benefit from up-to-date versions of my tools nonetheless. Most bags will support the same range of python versions as the most recent version of typing_extensions, although some will support older versions (when possible) and others only newer ones (when required).
