Description:
overscore 0.1.1
Library for double underscore access notation
Overscore provides a way to retrieve (and store) multi-dimensional data using a single string
with double underscores.
Inspired by Django, the access string can be used as a routine argument or a URL parameter,
allowing for complex access within simple contexts:
import overscore
data = {
"things": {
"a": {
"b": [
{
"1": "yep"
}
]
}
}
}
overscore.get(data, "things__a__b__0____1")
# "yep"
All keys/indexes are separated by double underscores. Extra underscores dictate how to
parse that place in the path.
