Auxlib is an auxiliary library to the python standard library.
The aim is to provide core generic features for app development in python. Auxlib fills in some python stdlib gaps much like pytoolz has for functional programming, pyrsistent has for data structures, or boltons has generally.
- Major areas addressed include

a map implementation designed specifically to hold application configuration and context information
- factory
factory pattern implementation
- path
file path utilities especially helpful when working with various python package formats
- logz
logging initialization routines to simplify python logging setup
- crypt
