TypePigeon is a Python type converter focused on converting values between various Python data types.
pip install typepigeon- convert values directly from one Python type to another with
to_type() - convert values to JSON format with
to_json() - convert generic aliases (
List[str]) to simple collection types ([str]) withsubscripted_type()
With TypePigeon, you can convert simple values from one type to another:
import typepigeon
typepigeon.to_type(0.55, str)
'0.55'
typepigeon.to_type(1, float)
1.0
typepigeon.to_type([1], str)
'[1]'Additionally, you can also cast values into a collection:
import typepigeon
typepigeon.to_type([1, 2.0, '3'], [int])
[1, 2, 3]
typepigeon.to_type('[1, 2, 3]', (int, str, float))
[1, '2', 3.0]
typepigeon.to_type({'a': 2.5, 'b': 4, 3: '18'}, {str: float})
{'a': 2.5, 'b': 4.0, '3': 18.0}Some commonly-used classes such as datetime and CRS are also supported:
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from pyproj import CRS
import typepigeon
typepigeon.to_type(datetime(2021, 3, 26), str)
'2021-03-26 00:00:00'
typepigeon.to_type('20210326', datetime)
datetime(2021, 3, 26)
typepigeon.to_type('01:13:20:00', timedelta)
timedelta(days=1, hours=13, minutes=20, seconds=0)
typepigeon.to_type(timedelta(hours=1), str)
'01:00:00.0'
typepigeon.to_type(timedelta(hours=1), int)
3600
typepigeon.to_type(CRS.from_epsg(4326), int)
4326
typepigeon.to_type(CRS.from_epsg(4326), str)
