The rec collection is a couple of dozen small free and open-source Python modules that I have developed over the last five years.

Most of the modules try to do one essential thing very well with the least amount of fuss. If you like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing you like.

A dozen are production-quality with comprehensive tests and documentation, and a few of the best are below.

Others are still beta (and marked as such). Some are still partly dreams. Work continues daily.

I respond promptly to issues filed and pull requests in all cases.

Consider supporting me here on Github if my work gives you pleasure, and you have a few currency units to spare.
