Summary

Convenient functions for Python. Full docs pending, but here's an overview:

• LazyCSV: reading and writing CSVs in a single line. Supports reading namedtuples and writing lists-of-like-dicts
• LazyJSON: reading and writing JSON in a single line
• LazyMultithread: multithreading and multiprocessing single functions in a single line, with error handling and traceback printing
• LazySoup: downloading webpages as BeautifulSoup objects without drama using a requests session. Supports routing requests through tor with LazyTor.
• LazyTor: Start and end Tor processes with very little hassle. Create a new connection with connection = TorConnection() Get a pre-configured requests.Session with connection.Session(). Get a new IP address for an existing connection with connection.renew(). Host multiple processes by passing in different ports to the constructor: connection = TorConnection(socks_port=xxxx, control_port=yyyy). Use connection.close() to end the process. Supports context management, ie. with TorConnection() as connection: will terminate a tor process automatically when you're done using it.
