With the SRL Python Library its developers have intend to consolidate bits and pieces which are used in Python projects at the Simula Research Laboratory (SRL), and, moreover, to share them as a public library for all the interested users.
The SRL Python Library`s functions come mostly as a supplement to the standard library, with for instance higher-level alternatives to filesystem manipulation functions in the standard modules os and shutil.
The convenience functions/structures contained in the SRL Python Library have evolved out of practical experience in cross-platform applications development.
