pip install toml
toml.loads --- takes a string to be parsed as toml and returns the corresponding dictionary
toml.dumps --- takes a dictionary and returns a string which is the contents of the corresponding toml file.
There are other functions which I use to dump and load various fragments of toml but dumps and loads will cover most usage.

- Args
f: Path to the file to open, array of files to read into single dict or a file descriptor
_dict: (optional) Specifies the class of the returned toml dictionary
- Returns
Parsed toml file represented as a dictionary
- Raises
TypeError -- When array of non-strings is passed
TypeError -- When f is invalid type
TomlDecodeError: Error while decoding toml
toml.loads(s, _dict=dict): - Parses string as toml
- Args

toml.dump(o, f) Writes out dict as toml to a file
- Args
o: Object to dump into toml
f: File descriptor where the toml should be stored
