        ## Installation
        
        Install via pip:
        
        ```bash
        pip install pbu
        ```
        
        ## Usage
        
        ***Optional***: If you have a requirement.txt file, you can add `pbu`:
        
        ```bash
        pbu
        ```
        
        Then, simply import the class / module you need:
        
        ```python
        from pbu import JSON
        
        # and start using it
        obj = JSON({"my": {"obj": "content"}})
        print(obj.my.obj)
        ```
        
        ## Classes
        
        ### JSON
        
        This is an adaptation of the native `dict` class, providing Javascript-like dictionary access using the "dot-notation"
        (e.g. `person.relations[0].address.street`) rather than the Python-native bracket notation (e.g.
        `person["relations"][0]["address"]["street"]`). It overrides the basic `__getattr__` and `__setattr__` methods as a
        shortcut to manage the dictionary content.
        
        **Example**
        
        ```python
        from pbu import JSON
        
        my_obj = JSON({"initial": "content"})
        print(my_obj.initial)
        # prints out "content"
        
        my_obj.initial = {"a": 5, "b": 3}
        print(my_obj.initial.a + my_obj.initial.b)
        # prints out 8
        my_obj.initial.b = 13
        print(my_obj.initial.a + my_obj.initial.b)
        # prints out 18
        
        my_obj.extension = 10
        print(my_obj.extension)
        # prints out 10
        ```
        
        ### Logger
        
        This is a basic logger allowing to write log files, for `logger.info` it writes a debug.log and for `logger.error` or
        `logger.exception` it writes an error.log file.
        
        **Example**
        
        ```python
        from pbu import Logger
        
        logger = Logger(name="logger-name")
        logger.debug("Some debug message goes here")
        logger.error("Error executing something")
        
        logger = Logger(name="logger-name", log_folder="./logs")
        logger.debug("This will create the debug.log and error.log in the ./logs folder")
        ```
        
        ### TimeSeries
        
        The time series class is a helper utility, that allows to compile complex time-series, offering functionality to add
        time series, remove time series and most importantly align time series with timestamps to a previously defined
        resolution by interpolating missing values and re-aligning measurements within the tolerance of the provided time
        series.
        
        It supports 2 different structures:
        
        **List of Dictionary Items**
        
        ```python
        from datetime import datetime, timedelta
        
        list_of_dict = [
            {"date_time": datetime.now(), "measurement_1": 12, "measurement_2": 15},
            {"date_time": datetime.now() + timedelta(hours=1), "measurement_1": 10, "measurement_2": 16},
            {"date_time": datetime.now() + timedelta(hours=2), "measurement_1": 9, "measurement_2": 12},
        ]
        ```
        
        **Dictionary of Lists**
        
        ```python
        from datetime import datetime, timedelta
        
        dict_of_list = {
            "date_time": [datetime.now(), datetime.now() + timedelta(hours=1), datetime + timedelta(hours=2)],
            "measurement_1": [12, 10, 16],
            "measurement_2": [15, 16, 12],
        }
        ```
        
        **Example**
        
        ```python
        from pbu import TimeSeries
        from datetime import datetime, timedelta
        
        # initial time series base data (you can add measurements as well or provide as list of dictionaries
        dict_of_list = {
            "date_time": TimeSeries.create_date_range(datetime.now(), datetime.now() + timedelta(days=1), timedelta(hours=3)),
        }
        
        # init time series
        ts = TimeSeries(input_data=dict_of_list, date_time_key="date_time")
        # add values (ensure same length as date_time series)
        ts.add_values("measurement_1", [12, 10, 16, 10, 5, 8, 12, 9])
        
        # you can translate into a list of dictionary items (keys are maintained)
        list_of_dict = ts.translate_to_list_of_dicts()
        
        # extract data series from the time series
        measurement_1 = ts.get_values("measurement_1")
        
        # create new series that provides same value for all timestamps
        ts.fill_values("constant_series", 5)
        
        # remove a series from the total data structure
        ts.remove_series("constant_series")
        
        # re-sample data to 5 minute resolution, interpolating values, also pre-pending another day in front of the time series 
        ts.align_to_resolution(resolution=timedelta(minutes=5), start_date=datetime.now() - timedelta(days=1))
        # this will result in "interpolated" values for the first day, using the first value (12) to fill missing values
        print(len(ts.translate_to_list_of_dicts()))  # 12 an hour, 2 days, 48 * 12 = ~576 items
        
        # the same can also be achieved by:
        ts.set_resolution(timedelta(minutes=5))
        # no need to provide resolution now
        ts.align_to_resolution(start_date=datetime.now() - timedelta(days=1))
        ```
        
        ### AbstractMongoStore
        
        Database store with helper functions for accessing MongoDB. Each store instance represents a single collection. This
        comes with an `AbstractMongoDocument` class, which can be used to model the document types you store within a MongoDB
        collection.
        
        **Example**
        
        ```python
        from pbu import AbstractMongoStore, AbstractMongoDocument
        
        
        # this is the object type stored in the mongo store
        class MyObjectType(AbstractMongoDocument):
            def __init__(self, val1, val2):
                # optional: provide id and data model version 
                super().__init__()
                self.attribute = val1
                self.attribute2 = val2,
        
            def to_json(self):
                # init with version and id
                result = super().to_json()
                # add attributes to dictionary and return
                result["attribute"] = self.attribute
                result["attribute2"] = self.attribute2
                return result
        
            @staticmethod
            def from_json(json):
                result = MyObjectType(json["attribute1"], json["attribute2"])
                # get _id and version attributes
                result.extract_system_fields(json)
                return result
        
        
        class MyObjectStore(AbstractMongoStore):
            def __init__(self, mongo_url, db_name, collection_name, data_model_version):
                # provide object type class as de-serialisation class (providing from_json and to_json)
                super.__init__(mongo_url, db_name, collection_name, MyObjectType, data_model_version)
        
        
        # create instance of store
        store = MyObjectStore("mongodb://localhost:27017", "mydb", "colName", 5)
        
        # create document using a dictionary
        store.create({
            "version": 5,
            "attribute1": "a",
            "attribute2": 16,
        })
        
        # or use the type
        doc = MyObjectType("a", 16)
        doc.version = 5
        doc_id = store.create(doc)
        
        # update single document using helper functions
        store.update(AbstractMongoStore.id_query(doc_id),
                     AbstractMongoStore.set_update(["attribute1", "attribute2"], ["b", 12]))
        
        # returns a list of MyObjectType objects matching the version
        list_of_results = store.query({"version": 5})
        ```
        
        **Attribute Mapping**
        
        As of version 0.7.0 a new feature provides an easier way to map between class attributes and JSON attributes. For
        primitive field mappings, we can use the built-in methods `to_json()` and `extract_system_fields(json)` to serialise and
        de-serialise the attributes / keys provided by the `get_attribute_mapping()` method. The `to_json()` method no longer
        has to be provided.
        
        This feature is backward-compatible. If the `get_attribute_mapping()` method is not available, the old mechanism using
        `to_json()` and `from_json()` still works as before.
        
        ```python
        from pbu import AbstractMongoDocument
        
        
        class MyObjectType(AbstractMongoDocument):
            def __init__(self):
                super().__init__()
                self.attribute_name_1 = None
                self.attribute_2 = None
        
            def get_attribute_mapping(self):
                # provide a mapping from the class attribute to the JSON key
                return {
                    "attribute_name_1": "attributeName1",
                    "attribute_2": "attribute2",
                }
        
            @staticmethod
            def from_json(json):
                obj = MyObjectType()
                obj.extract_system_fields(json)
                return obj
        ```
        
        **Sorting and Pagination**
        
        As of version 0.7.1 a new feature was added to the `query()` method to support sorting and pagination.
        
        The signature of `query(query)` was extended to `query(query, sorting=None, paging=None)`, so it is backward compatible.
        
        - The sorting can be provided as single string or as dictionary.
        - The paging can be provided as `PagingInformation` object.
        
        _Sorting_
        
        - `store.query(query, sorting="date")` will sort by the key "date" in ascending order
        - `store.query(query, sorting={"date": "desc"})` will sort by the key "date" in descending order
        - `store.query(query, sorting={"date": 1})` will sort by the key "date" in ascending order
        - `store.query(query, sorting={"date": 1, "time": "DESCENDING"})` will first sort by the key "date" in ascending order
          and then by the key "time" in descending order
        - Any string starting with "asc" or "desc" (case-insensitive) is supported. You can also provide an integer, where 1 is
          ascending and -1 is descending.
        
        _Paging_
        
        ```python
        from pbu import PagingInformation
        
        search_query = {"customer": "Max"}
        # store is an instance of a sub-class of AbstractMongoStore
        result = store.query(search_query, paging=PagingInformation(page=5, page_size=50))
        `
        ```
        
        The first `page` is page 0, the default `page_size` is 25.
        
        ### BasicMonitor
        
        An abstract class providing base-functionality for running monitors - threads that run a specific routine in a regular
        interval. This can be an executor waiting for new tasks to be processed (and checking every 5 seconds) or a thread that
        monitors some readout in a regular interval. The monitor is wrapped to re-start itself, in case of errors.
        
        **Example**
        
        ```python
        from pbu import BasicMonitor
        
        
        class MyOwnMonitor(BasicMonitor):
            def __init__(self, data):
                super().__init__(monitor_id="my_id", wait_time=5)  # waits 5 seconds between each execution loop
                self.data = data
        
            def running(self):
                while self.active:
                    # your code goes here (example):
                    # result = fetch_data(self.data)
                    # store_result(result)
                    self.wait()
        ```
        
        If you want to run in a regular interval, the `running` method needs to be slightly modified:
        
        ```python
        from time import time
        from pbu import BasicMonitor
        
        
        class MyRegularOwnMonitor(BasicMonitor):
            def __init__(self, data):
                super().__init__(monitor_id="another_id", wait_time=60, run_interval=True)  # execute every 60 seconds
                self.data = data
        
            def running(self):
                while self.active:
                    start_ts = time()  # capture start of loop
                    # your code goes here (example):
                    # result = do_something(self.data)
                    # store_result(result)
                    self.wait(exec_duration=round(time() - start_ts))  # include the execution duration
        ```
        
        You can also pass a custom logger as `custom_logger` argument to the constructor. By default it will use the
        `pbu.Logger` and log major events such as start/stop/restart and errors.
        
        **Manage and run monitor**
        
        ```python
        import threading
        
        
        def start_monitor_thread(monitor):
            """
            Thread function to be run by the new thread.
            :param monitor: BasicMonitor - an instance of sub-class of BasicMonitor 
            """
            # start the monitor
            monitor.start()
        
        
        # create monitor instance of your own class that implements BasicMonitor
        regular_monitor = MyRegularOwnMonitor(data={"some": "data"})
        
        # create thread with start-up function and start it
        t = threading.Thread(target=start_monitor_thread, args=(regular_monitor,), daemon=True)
        t.start()
        
        # in a separate piece of code (e.g. REST handler or timer) you can stop the monitor instance
        regular_monitor.stop()
        ```
        
        Stopping a monitor doesn't interrupt the current thread. If the monitor is for example in a wait period and you send the
        `stop` signal, the thread will still run until the wait period passes.
        
        > _In an API scenario, I recommend using a `dict` or `list` to cache monitors and retrieve them via the API using the
        `to_json()` method for identification. This then allows you to signal starting / stopping of monitors by providing the monitor ID and lookup the monitor instance in the monitor cache._
        
        **`BasicMonitor` Methods**
        
        - `start()` - starts the monitor
        - `stop()` - stops the monitor
        - `to_json()` - returns a dictionary with basic monitor technical information (id, state, wait behaviour, etc)
        - `wait_till_midnight()` - waits till the next midnight in your machines time zone
        - `wait(exec_duration=0)` - waits for the time specified in the constructor and in case of `run_interval=True` for the
          optional `exec_duration`, if provided.
        
        ### ConstantListing
        
        Managing constants is good practice for avoiding typos. Imagine the following class:
        
        ```python
        class Tags:
            GEO = "GEO"
            EQUIPMENT = "EQUIPMENT"
        ```
        
        This allows you to just do: `Tags.GEO` allowing you to use your IDEs auto-complete, avoiding typos. But if you want to
        programmatically get **all** possible values for `Tags`, you can use `pbu`'s `ConstantListing` class:
        
        ```python
        from pbu import ConstantListing
        
        
        class Tags(ConstantListing):
            GEO = "GEO"
            EQUIPMENT = "EQUIPMENT"
        
        
        list_of_values = Tags().get_all()  # will return ['GEO', 'EQUIPMENT']
        ```
        
        ### PerformanceLogger
        
        This utility class allows to print out or log runtime performance expressed as time delta between a start time and an
        end time.
        
        Basic usage:
        
        ```python
        from pbu import PerformanceLogger
        
        perf = PerformanceLogger()
        perf.start()  # this is optional and will reset the start-time
        # do something useful...
        perf.checkpoint(message="Step 1")  # will print "Step 1 took <timedelta>
        # some some more useful stuff...
        perf.finish(message="Something useful")  # will print out the whole duration from start to finish
        ```
        
        You can omit the message of a `checkpoint` call if you don't need an output for an operation, but want to print out the
        duration of the step that follows.
        
        You can also use a Python `Logger` object (or `pbu.Logger`) instead of the message being printed out onto the console.
        
        ```python
        from pbu import Logger, PerformanceLogger
        
        logger = Logger("my-logger-name")
        perf = PerformanceLogger()
        # do something...
        perf.checkpoint()  # next output will print the duration between this point and the next checkpoint call
        # do some more stuff...
        perf.checkpoint(message="Some More Stuff", logger=logger)
        # and even more ...
        perf.finish(message="Total operation", logger=logger)
        ```
        
        **Methods**
        
        - `start()` - will reset the start time of the performance logger
        - `checkpoint(message=None, logger=None)` - creates a new checkpoint and optionally logs a message
        - `finish(message=None, logger=None)` - prints out the total runtime since `start()` was called or the class was
          initialised
        
        ## Functions
        
        ### `list_to_json`
        
        ```python
        from pbu import list_to_json
        
        # assuming we have `my_store` as an instance of MongoDB store or MySQL store, you can:
        list_of_dictionaries = list_to_json(item_list=my_store.get_all())  # output is a list of dictionaries
        ```
        
        This function operates on lists of objects inheriting from `AbstractMongoDocument` or `AbstractMysqlDocument` and
        converts them into dictionaries using the `to_json()` method of any object passed into the function. Objects passed into
        the function _require_ the `to_json()` method and need to return the dictionary representation of the object. This
        function is just a mapping shortcut.
        
        ### `default_options`
        
        ```python
        from pbu import default_options
        
        DEFAULTS = {
            "a": 1,
            "b": 2,
            "c": 3,
        }
        
        result = default_options(default=DEFAULTS, override={"b": 4, "d": 5})
        # result is: {"a": 1, "b": 4, "c": 3, "d": 5}
        ```
        
        If you want to avoid additional keys other than the keys in DEFAULTS, you can provide a third argument:
        
        ```python
        from pbu import default_options
        
        DEFAULTS = {
            "a": 1,
            "b": 2,
        }
        
        result = default_options(default=DEFAULTS, override={"b": 4, "d": 5}, allow_unknown_keys=False)
        # result is: {"a": 1, "b": 4}
        ```
        
        ### `default_value`
        
        ```python
        from pbu import default_value
        
        result = default_value(value=None, fallback=5)  # None is by default disallowed
        # result is 5
        
        result = default_value(value=0, fallback=5, disallowed=[None, 0])  # either 0 or None would return the fallback
        # result is 5
        
        result = default_value(0, 5)  # value will be used, as it doesn't match None
        # result is 0
        ```
        
        ### Datetime Functions
        
        PBU provides some utilities to help deal with timezones and datetime objects. All timezone specifications can be made
        either as a string (i.e. the name of the timezone, like `"Australia/Melbourne"`) or as `pytz.timezone` object.
        
        #### `combine_date_time(date, time, tz)`
        
        Combines the provided date and time values.
        
        ```python
        from datetime import date, time
        from pbu import combine_date_time
        
        result = combine_date_time(date(year=2021, month=12, day=25), time(hour=15, minute=12, second=6), "Australia/Perth")
        ```
        
        #### `to_timezone(local_datetime, target_tz)`
        
        Translates a datetime to the provided target timezone.
        
        ```python
        from datetime import datetime
        from pytz import utc
        from pbu import to_timezone
        
        utc_dt = datetime(year=2021, month=12, day=25, hour=3, minute=0, tzinfo=utc)  # 3:00am @ 2021-12-25
        perth_dt = to_timezone(utc_dt, "Australia/Perth")
        # > Result: 11:00am @ 2021-12-25 (+0800)
        ```
        
        #### `to_utc(local_datetime)`
        
        Shorthand for `to_timezone(dt, pytz.utc)`
        
        #### `set_timezone(datetime, target_timezone)`
        
        Simply replaces the timezone information without changing any of the time values of the datetime.
        
        ```python
        from datetime import datetime
        from pytz import utc, timezone
        from pbu import set_timezone
        
        utc_dt = datetime(year=2021, month=12, day=25, hour=3, minute=0, tzinfo=utc)  # 3:00am @ 2021-12-25
        perth_dt = set_timezone(utc_dt, timezone("Australia/Perth"))
        # > Result: 3:00am @ 2021-12-25 (+0800)
        ```
        
        ### `weighted_mean`
        
        Provides the mean (average) of a list of values, where the values are weighted by the provided weights (in the same
        order as the value are provided). For missing weights, the default weight is 1
        
        ```python
        from pbu import weighted_mean
        
        weights = [5, 3, 1]
        values = [10, 5, 5, 4, 3]
        
        # ((10 * 5) + (3 * 5) + (1 * 5) + 4 + 3) / (5 + 3 + 1) = 7.0
        wm = weighted_mean(values, weights)  # 7.0
        ```
        
        ### `normalise`
        
        Normalises a numeric value between a lower and an upper boundary. The result is a value between 0.0 and 1.0. If the
        provided value exceeds any of the boundaries, the boundary value will automatically be chosen (defaults to 1.0 or 0.0).
        
        It is possible to provide a smaller upper bound than lower bound, which will invert the function and provide the negated
        value. As an example, if we normalise 4 between 0 and 10, we get 0.4. If we invert the boundaries to normalise 4 between
        10 and 0, we get 0.6 (`1.0 - 0.4`).
        
        Any invalid input (`None`) will result in 0.0 being returned. 
        
        ```python
        from pbu import normalise
        
        # the "standard" case
        norm1 = normalise(value=4, min_val=0, max_val=10)  # 0.4
        # inverted normalisation
        norm2 = normalise(value=4, min_val=10, max_val=0)  # 0.6
        # exceeding the boundaries
        norm3 = normalise(value=11, min_val=5, max_val=10)  # 1.0
        # float works as well as integer
        norm4 = normalise(value=-5.0, min_val=2.3, max_val=199.0)  # 0.0
        # inverted exceeding boundaries
        norm5 = normalise(value=-5, min_val=100, max_val=0.5)  # 1.0
        # invalid inputs will return 0.0
        norm6 = normalise(value=None, min_val=0, max_val=10)  # 0.0
        norm7 = normalise(value=5, min_val=0, max_val=None)  # 0.0
        ```
