ctodd-python-lib-data-structures 1.0.0

Python utilities used for interacting with Python Data Structures

Christopher H. Todd's Python Library For Interacting With and Creating Python Datastructures

The ctodd-python-lib-data-structures project is responsible for aiding interacting with Pythons base datastructures, creating higher level data structures for projects and code, and other misc tasks. Example would be flattening out a python dict.

The library utilizes Python's built in datastrctures and some libraries (like Anytree) to generate new data sctructures. this can be useful for repetitive tasks or aiding with testing code and algorithms.

Notes

• Relies on f-string notation, which is limited to Python3.6. A refactor to remove these could allow for development with Python3.0.x through 3.5.x

TODO

• Unittest framework in place, but lacking tests
