  Description     : A deep merge function for Python

Includes four merge strategies:

## Replace

When destination and source keys are the same, replace
the destination value with one from source (default).

## Additive

When destination and source values are both the same additive
collection type, extend destination by adding values from source.

Additive collection types include: list, tuple, set, and Counter

## Typesafe replace
When destination and source values are of different types, raise
TypeError. Otherwise, perform a REPLACE merge.

## Typesafe additive

When destination and source values are of different types, raise
TypeError. Otherwise, perform a ADDITIVE merge.


This is a dependency of the datasette tool by Simon Willison.

I plan to maintain this package as part of the python modules team.
