* Package name    : python-banal
  Version         : 1.0.6
  Upstream Author : Friedrich Lindenberg <friedrich@pudo.org>
* URL             : https://github.com/pudo/banal
* License         : MIT
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description     : Commons of banal micro-functions for Python

 Shared utils module with a focus on functions that buffer type uncertainties
 in Python (e.g. "is this a list?").
  
 Functions:
  
  * is_listish: check if something is list-ish
  * is_mapping: check if an object is dict-ish
  * ensure_list: make sure an argument is a list, or make it into a
    single-element list
  * clean_dict: remove null values from a dict, recursively
  * decode_path: decode a path name to be unicode
  * hash_data: generate a SHA1 from a dict of reasonable objects
 
I plan to maintain this package as part of the Python modules team.
