pip install functionapplydict

apply_function_dict(d: dict, fu=lambda keys, item, d: item):
    Apply a given function to the values of a nested dictionary and return a modified dictionary.

    Parameters:
    - d (dict): The input dictionary to be modified.
    - fu (function): The function to be applied to each value in the dictionary.
        - keys (list): The list of keys leading to the current value.
        - item (any): The current value in the dictionary.
        - d (dict): The input dictionary.

    Returns:
    - dict: A new dictionary with the same structure as the input, but with modified values.

    Example:
        from functionapplydict import apply_function_dict

        child1 = {"name": "Emil", "year": 2004}
        child2 = {"name": "Tobias", "year": 2007}
        child3 = {"name": "Linus", "year": 2011}

        myfamily = {"child1": child1, "child2": child2, "child3": child3}


        def function1(keys, item, d):
            if isinstance(item, int):
                item = item * 8
            return item


        dnew = apply_function_dict(d=myfamily, fu=function1)
        dnew2 = apply_function_dict(d=myfamily, fu=lambda keys, item, d: str(item))

        ditest = {1: {2: [4, 56, 2, 4, 56]}, 2: {24: [4, 56, 2, 4, 56, 444]}}
        dnew3 = apply_function_dict(d=ditest, fu=lambda keys, item, d: sum(item))
        dnew4 = apply_function_dict(d=ditest, fu=lambda keys, item, d: str(item))

        print(dnew)
        print(dnew2)
        print(dnew3)
        print(dnew4)

apply_function_dict_deep(d: dict, fu=lambda keys, item, d: item):
    Apply a given function to the values of a nested dictionary deeply and return a modified dictionary.

    Parameters:
    - d (dict): The input dictionary to be modified.
    - fu (function): The function to be applied to each value in the dictionary.
        - keys (list): The list of keys leading to the current value.
        - item (any): The current value in the dictionary.
        - d (dict): The input dictionary.

    Returns:
    - dict: A new dictionary with the same structure as the input, but with modified values.

    Example:
        from functionapplydict import apply_function_dict_deep
        child1 = {"name": "Emil", "year": 2004}
        child2 = {"name": "Tobias", "year": 2007}
