zbox is a tiny library to help me use toolz_ and cytoolz_. I frequently use toolz and would like to use cytoolz if it's available, but don't want to put a try/except in all my projects. By importing toolz from zbox I always get cytoolz if cytoolz is installed and otherwise I get toolz.

Installation

zbox is on PyPI, install it with: pip install zbox. zbox works on Python 2 and Python 3.

Usage

.. code::

from zbox import toolz

If cytoolz_ is installed toolz will be cytoolz, otherwise it will be toolz.

gen

.. code::

    from zbox import gen

``gen`` is a function that converts any iterable into a Python
generator object. I use this with Pandas, which sometimes doesn't
expand iterables unless they are first converted to a generator.
