Pytools is a big bag of things that are "missing" from the Python standard
library. This is mainly a dependency of my other software packages, and is
probably of little interest to you unless you use those. If you're curious
nonetheless, here's what's on offer:

• A ton of small tool functions such as len_iterable, argmin,
  tuple generation, permutation generation, ASCII table pretty printing,
  GvR's monkeypatch_xxx() hack, the elusive flatten, and much more.
• Batch job submission, pytools.batchjob.
• A lexer, pytools.lex.
• A persistent key-value store, pytools.persistent_dict.
