Python deepops module

PYTHON DEEPOPS MODULE

This module contains some functions for performing "deep" operations on standard Python data structures - dictionaries/lists/sets:

• deepmerge() - merges two dictionaries/lists/sets, including all sub-items, e.g. items to lists and sets, missing keys/items to dictionaries, optionally replacing clashing simple types.
• deepremoveitems() - removes items (simple types, or whole dictionaries/lists/sets) from specified locations within a complex data structure.

The module was developed and used under Python 3.4 but seems to work OK in basic testing under 2.7.
