allows accessing standard library modules (and other external modules)
in a more straightforward manner than '__import__(...)'
* std.os.getcwd()
* std["os"].getcwd()
allows accessing undefined fields without exception or locals().get(…)
but hides mistakes/typos/etc by evaluating to False without feedback
performance loss compared to the previous version without try-except
is negligible (~20ns for me)
e.g.
- '1:101' or ':101' or ':101:' for files 1 to 100
- '1::2' or '::2' for every second file
- '1:101:5' or ':101:5' for files 1, 6, 11, ..., 91, 96
(the second argument specifies the first index NOT included)
- rename
- load_cookiestxt -> cookiestxt_load
- save_cookiestxt -< cookiestxt_store
- in cookiestxt_load, add cookies directly to a cookie jar
instead of storing them in a list first
- other unnoticeable performance increases
Each entry in such a list can now also include a subcategory
'<category>:<subcategory>'
and it is possible to use '*' or an empty string as placeholder
'*:<subcategory>', ':<subcategory>', '<category>:*'
For example
"blacklist": "imgur,*:tag,gfycat:user" or
"blacklist": ["imgur", "*:tag", "gfycat:user"]
will filter all 'imgur' extractors, all extractors with a 'tag'
subcategory (e.g. https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts?tags=bonocho),
and all 'gfycat' user extractors.
to convert a timestamp to a formattable 'datetime' object.
For example '{created_at!d:%Y-%m-%d}'
transforms the timestamp in 'created_at' into a 'datetime' object
and then formats its content using '%Y-%m-%d' as template.
1262304000 -> datetime(2010, 1, 1) -> "2010-01-01"
… and not just None (#525)
It would be better to consistently use None for all non-existent
fields and/or fields without a valid value, but this is a good
enough workaround for now.
The format string '{a|b|c}' will now try to use the value from 'a' and
fall back to 'b' and 'c' if accessing a field raises an exception or
if its value is None.
- take a file object as argument instead of an filename
- accept whitespace before comments (" # comment")
- map expiration "0" to None and not the number 0
