What it is and what it does
convertertools is a minimal utility library for common dictionary and data structure manipulation patterns in Python. It provides functions like del_dict_tuple, del_dict_set, pop_dict_tuple, pop_dict_set, and pop_dict_set_if_none to remove or pop multiple keys from dictionaries in a single call, with variants that either raise KeyError on missing keys or silently ignore them.
The package is designed to reduce boilerplate code in libraries that repeatedly perform these operations. It is distributed as compiled wheels for Python 3.10 through 3.14 across major platforms and architectures, suggesting performance-critical use. The library has no runtime dependencies and is in pre-alpha development status, indicating it is still stabilizing its API.
Use it for
- Remove multiple known keys from a configuration dictionary without writing a loop.
- Safely pop optional keys from a data structure, ignoring those that don't exist.
- Clean up intermediate dictionaries in data processing pipelines by bulk-deleting fields.
- Reduce boilerplate in libraries that frequently manipulate dictionary structures.
- Conditionally remove None-valued keys from a dictionary in a single operation.
