simple-categories 0.1.2

Reads lines from a plaintext file, separated by categories.

To use use it, install the package and import on your project with

import catlist

Then read a file with

categories = catlist.catlist(file_name)

Blank lines and lines that begin with '#' are ignored.

# the following lines will be assigned to 'uncategorized`
