Democritus functions[1] for working with Python dictionaries.

[1] Democritus functions are simple, effective, modular, well-tested, and well-documented Python functions.

We use d8s (pronounced "dee-eights") as an abbreviation for democritus (you can read more about this here).

Installation

pip install d8s-dicts

Usage

You import the library like:

from d8s_dicts import *

Once imported, you can use any of the functions listed below.
