Dumb vs smart functions (python): How eval can be helpful to remove a bunch of "repetitive code"

convert_colors.py

'''Using the smart method saves over 75% by line numbers ...
with chars/bytes it's 394 vs. 1220 chars which is "only" saves 67% of code
(All types of comments and extra lines were removed before comparision)'''

YAY, finally. Or better yet YAY-SN.
Yet Another Yawn-y—Sleepless Night.
Sigh. But at least I spent some of the early morning of it working on this.
