odt2txt is a command-line tool which extracts the text out of OpenDocument Texts, as produced by OpenOffice.org, KOffice, StarOffice and others.

odt2txt can also extract text from some file formats similar to OpenDocument Text, such as OpenOffice.org XML (*.sxw), which was used by OpenOffice.org version 1.x and older StarOffice versions. To a lesser extent, odt2txt may be useful to extract content from OpenDocument spreadsheets (*.ods) and OpenDocument presentations (*.odp).

The two programs are useful for generating test data, for inspecting binary files, and for interfacing programs that generate textual output to programs that require binary input and conversely. They can also be useful when it is desired to reformat numbers.

• ascii2binary reads input consisting of ascii or hexadecimal representation numbers separated by whitespace and produces as output the binary equivalents. The type and precision of the binary output is selected using command line flags.

• binary2ascii reads input consisting of binary numbers and converts them to their ascii or hexadecimal representation. Command line flags specify the type and size of the binary numbers and provide control over the format of the output. Unsigned integers may be written out in binary, octal, decimal, or hexadecimal.

  Signed integers may be written out only in binary or decimal. Floating point numbers may be written out only decimal, either in standard or scientific notation. (If you want to examine the binary representation of floating point numbers, just treat the input as a sequence of unsigned characters.)

The drm_tools package contains the following commands:

accudate

An extended version of the "date" program that has sub-second accuracy.

binformat

Format complex binary data into text.

binload

Load data into a binary file using simple commands from the input.

binorder

Sort, merge, search, retrieve or generate test data consisting of fixed size binary records.

binreplace

Find or find/replace in binary files.

binsplit

Split test data consisting of fixed size binary records into one or more output streams.

chardiff

Find changes between two files at the character level. Unlike "diff", it lists just the characters that differ, so if the 40,000th character is different only that one character will be shown, not the entire line.

columnadd

Add columns of integers, decimals, and/or times.

datasniffer

A utility for formatting binary data dumps.

dmath

Double precision interactive command line math calculator.

extract

Extract and emit data from text files based on character or token position.

execinput

A utility that reads from STDIN and executes each line as a command in a sub-process.

indexed_text

A utility for rapid retrieval of text by line numbers, in any order, from a text file.

mdump

Format binary data.

msgqueue

Create message queues and send/receive messages.

mbin

dtmbout

Multiple buffer in and out. Used for buffering a lot of data between a slow device and a fast device. Mostly for buffering streaming tape drives for use with slower network connections, so that streaming is maintained as much as possible to minimize wear on the tape device.

pockmark

Corrupt data streams - useful for testing error correction and data recovery.

tarsieve

Filter, list, or split a tar file.

This package provides yq, a command-line YAML, JSON and XML processor. It uses jq-like syntax but works with YAML files as well as JSON, XML, properties, CSV and TSV.

aha (Ansi Html Adapter) converts ANSI escape sequences of a Unix terminal to HTML code.

dbacl is a fast Bayesian text and email classifier. It builds a variety of language models using maximum entropy (minimum divergence) principles, and these can then be used to categorize input data automatically among multiple categories.

The main purpose of this package is to provide more complex arithmetic operations on dates/times. Heavy use is made of the relativedelta type from the dateutil library. Much of this package is just a light wrapper on top of this with some added features such as range generation and business day calculation.

This library brings the Olson tz database into Python. It allows accurate and cross platform timezone calculations using Python 2.4 or higher. It also solves the issue of ambiguous times at the end of daylight saving time. Almost all of the Olson timezones are supported.

This module parses the most common forms of ISO 8601 date strings (e.g. 2007-01-14T20:34:22+00:00) into datetime objects.

This small Python module parses various kinds of time expressions.

This package provides functionality for utilizing the relativedelta feature from the dateutil library, ensuring calendar precision with aniso8601.

This package contains a library for parsing ISO 8601 datetime strings.

This package includes the necessary headers for using LinuxPPS PPSAPI kernel interface in user-space applications, and several support tools.

This is a python package for looking up the corresponding timezone for given coordinates on earth entirely offline.

Time is a command that displays information about the resources that a program uses. The display output of the program can be customized or saved to a file.

Python library for generating and parsing RFC 3339-compliant timestamps.

Pendulum is a drop-in replacement for the standard datetime class, providing an alternative API. As it inherits from the standard datetime all datetime instances can be replaced by Pendulum instances.

tz helps you schedule things across time zones. It is an interactive TUI program that displays time across a few time zones of your choosing.

This package provides a thin Python wrapper around tzdata.

This package provides some tools to parse human-readable date/time text in Python.

Countdown provides a fancy text display while it counts down to zero from a starting point you provide. The user can pause and resume the countdown from the text user interface.

Tzlocal returns a tzinfo object with the local timezone information. This module attempts to fix a glaring hole in pytz, that there is no way to get the local timezone information, unless you know the zoneinfo name, and under several distributions that's hard or impossible to figure out.

Termdown provides a fancy text display while it counts down to zero from a starting point you provide. The user can pause and resume the countdown from the text user interface. It can also be used in stop watch mode which counts forward or for just showing the current time.

This module parses the most common forms of ISO 8601 date strings (e.g. 2007-01-14T20:34:22+00:00) into datetime objects.
