volumential.tools

Miscellaneous host-side utilities, plus the historical grab-bag import surface.

This module owns two small host-side helpers, clean_file() and import_code(). Everything else it used to define now lives in a focused module and is re-exported here unchanged, so that from volumential.tools import ... keeps working:

• KernelCacheWrapper – volumential.kernel_cache

• ScalarFieldExpressionEvaluation – volumential.expression_eval

• BoxSpecificMap, DiscreteLegendreTransform, InverseDiscreteLegendreTransform, BoxSpecificReduction, BoxSum and generate_leading_order_filtering() – volumential.box_operators

volumential.tools.clean_file(filename, new_name=None) → None

Remove/rename file if exists. Fails silently when the file does not exist. Useful for, for example, writing output files that are meant to overwrite existing ones.

volumential.tools.import_code(code, name, add_to_sys_modules=True) → ModuleType

Dynamically generates a module.

Parameters:

• code – a string or a compiled code object, as accepted by exec().

• name – the name the new module is given.

• add_to_sys_modules – whether to register the module in sys.modules under name.

Returns:

a new module object initialized by dynamically importing code.
