mpyez

Common use utilities for python done easy.

What is mpyez

mpyez is a library made specifically to make the daily mundane tasks as easily doable as possible.

• Want to get a list of all python files in your folder? Use ListOfFilesFromExtensions class.
• Want to convert a nested list to a 1D list? Use nested_list_to_list().
• Want to convert a simple list to nested list? Use list_to_nested_list().

This library is intended to lower complexity of daily recurring tasks.

How to install

Use pip: pip install mpyez

Examples

Let's say, you want to convert a nested list

>>> my_nested_list = [[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8], [9, 10]]

to a 1D list, with mpyez you can do it using nested_list_to_list function in ez_list module (see, Current implementations for details).

>>> nested_list_to_list(my_nested_list)

>>> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
