# silver-nitrate
This is a collection of Python utilities used by [the Flickr Foundation](https://www.flickr.org/).
It allows us to share certain functions and common code across all our projects.
Think of it as a souped-up version of `utils.py`.
This library is primarily for our use, but the code is fairly generic and may well be useful in other projects.
If you want to use it, copy/paste the code (and the associated tests!) into your own project rather than adding a dependency on this library.

## What's in a name?
I wanted to pick a name that was:
1. More interesting than "utils"
2. Had a connection to photography
3. Wasn't taken on PyPI
Silver nitrate was a key chemical in the early days of photography, especially in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Photographers would coat glass plates with a mixture of chemicals, including silver nitrate.
Because silver nitrate reacts when exposed to light, when you put the plate in a camera and open the shutter, different areas would react differently to create an image on the plate.
You could then develop this plate into a photograph.
This code is key to our work at the Flickr Foundation, so I thought it was a fitting name.
## Development
If you want to make changes to the library, there are instructions in [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md).
## License
This project is dual-licensed as Apache-2.0 and MIT.
