litereval
litereval is wrapper around ast.literal_eval with new additional {foo='bar', key=None} dict syntax.
Plus some helper tools to deep merge dictionaries, parse ast.literal_eval python data to *args and **kwargs.
Can be used to create wrapper command line interfaces. See pyppdf.

Needs python 3.6+

Small extension of ``ast.literal_eval`` that also
accepts dict in a form of ``{key=100, foo='bar'}``

"""
Parses ``args`` object to ``(*args, **kwargs)`` tuple.
Special case when ``args`` is ``None``: returns ``(None, None)``.
Otherwise tries to put not iterable object to tuple:
``args`` to ``(args,)``. Examples:
* ``(1, 2)`` to ``(1, 2), {}``
* ``"foo"`` to ``("foo",), {}``
* ``{(): ('a', 0), 'foo': None} to
``('a', 0), {'foo': None}``
Returns
