Python type converter

TypePigeon

TypePigeon is a Python type converter focused on converting values between various Python data types.

pip install typepigeon

Features

• convert values directly from one Python type to another with convert_value()
• convert values to JSON format with convert_to_json()
• convert generic aliases (List[str]) to simple collection types ([str]) with guard_generic_alias()

Usage

With TypePigeon, you can convert simple values from one type to another:

import typepigeon

typepigeon.convert_value(0.55, str)
# '0.55'

typepigeon.convert_value(1, float)
# 1.0

typepigeon.convert_value([1], str)
# '[1]'

Additionally, you can also cast values into a collection:

import typepigeon

typepigeon.convert_value([1, 2.0, '3'], [int])
# [1, 2, 3]

typepigeon.convert_value('[1, 2, 3]', (int, str, float))
# [1, '2', 3.0]
