<br>

*Stop labelling variables by enclosing every one of them in quotes.<br>
Get your hands dirty with a big copypaste just once.*

Canederli is a simple python package containing only the function <code>canederlist</code> 

i.e. 

Comma <br>
And <br>
NEwline <br>
Delimited <br>
Elements <br>
Reformatted as <br>
LIst of <br>
STrings <br>

which reformats a multiline string containing words separated by commas into a list of those words stringified.<br>

This is useful when our code has a hardcoded list of variables and we want to quickly get a list of their names as strings:<br>
Instead of copypasting the list of variables and  manually adding quotes around each variable,<br>
we can copy the list of variables and paste it as the first input parameter of <code>canederlist</code>, enclosed in triple quotes (<code>"""</code>).


Quick example
-------------

You want to get

```
labels = ["var1", "var2", ..., "var100"]
```

out of

```
some_function(  var1, 
                var2, 
                ..., 
                var100
                )
```

Instead of copypasting the snippet

```
                var1, 
                var2, 
                ..., 
                var100
```

and manually adding quotes around each variable,<br>
you can copy the snippet and paste it as input of canederlist, enclosed in triple quotes:

```
from canederli import canederlist

labels = canederlist("""var1, 
                var2, 
                ..., 
                var100
""")

print(labels)
```
```
["var1", "var2", ..., "var100"]
```

usage
-----

The list of variables (i.e. not the variable containing the list, the hardcoded list of variables) must be copied and pasted as argument of <code>canederlist()</code>, enclosed in triple quotes (<code>"""</code>).

The function <code>canederlist</code> will remove 
 - multiple spaces (double or more, but not single spaces)
 - newline characters
 - triple points <code>...</code> 
 - round <code>()</code>  and square <code>[]</code> parentheses (if selected in the input)
 - single spaces (if selected in the input)<br>
and split the remaining elements separated by commas into a list of strings.
