This package provides a collection of generic-purpose and stand-alone functions that are of common use. A characteristic of the package is to be lightweight and dependencies-free. Please, consider its installation if any of the following function can be of use in your project. Any addition to the list is very welcome!
The package can be installed via pip
:
pip install [--user] lyncs_utils
