banal

Commons of Python micro-functions. This basically an out-sourced, shared utils module with a focus on functions that buffer type uncertainties in Python (e.g. "is this a list?").

Rules:

  • Functions are properly typed, library passes mypy.
  • Cannot depend on anything but six and the standard library

Functions

  • is_listish: check if something is list-ish
  • is_mapping: check if an object is dict-ish
  • ensure_list: make sure an argument is a list, or make it into a single-element list
  • clean_dict: remove null values from a dict, recursively
  • decode_path: decode a path name to be unicode
  • hash_data: generate a SHA1 from a dict of reasonable objects
