Description
One thing I found I have had to do that might be useful to include is to split a dictionary on an iterable value. The user would provide a dictionary and a key. The function would then return an iterator of dictionaries, each dictionary having one value from the key. It could be called splitvalue, perhaps.
So to give an example:
>>> a = {'key1': 1, 'key2': a, 'key3': [0, 1, 2, 3]}
>>> list(dictoolz.splitvalue(a, 'key3'))
[{'key1': 1, 'key2': 'a', 'key3': 0},
{'key1': 1, 'key2': 'a', 'key3': 1},
{'key1': 1, 'key2': 'a', 'key3': 2},
{'key1': 1, 'key2': 'a', 'key3': 3}]
