About

This is a library used to manipulate, and save data quickly. It is just a bunch of shortcuts I use quite a bit to manipulate saved data.

Functions included in v2.0.0

• list_to_file(orig_list, file_name, file_location)
• file_to_list(file_name, file_location)
• csv_to_dict(file_name, file_location)
• store_object(file_name, save_key, file_location, object_to_store=None)
• retrieve_object_from_file(file_name, save_key, file_location)
• delete_object_from_file(file_name, save_key, file_location)
• verify_key_in_shelve(file_name, save_key, file_location)
