Utility functions for Python

linspace(a, b, l, r)

• generates a list of length l of evenly spaced values between a and b
• rounds values to r decimal places, can be left blank if desired
• leaving l blank will generate a values differing by 1 if the difference between a and b is whole, or else will set the length to 100

gen(l, a, b)

• generates a list of length l of random integers between a and b

gen(l, list, allowDuplicates)

• generates a list of length l of random values picked from an iterable (in this case the iterable is list)
• iterable should not be passed as a string
• setting allowDuplicates to False will populate the list with unique values, leaving blank or setting to True will add duplicate values to the list
