Description:

qmkdottydict 1.3.0.post1

Info:
Dictionary wrapper for quick access to deeply nested keys.

Author:

This is a package published by QMK (https://qmk.fm) since the current dotty-dict published to pypi has non-ASCII characters that breaks with some non-UTF8 locale settings.

Features

Simple wrapper around python dictionary and dict like objects
Two wrappers with the same dict are considered equal
Access to deeply nested keys with dot notation: dot['deeply.nested.key']
Create, read, update and delete nested keys of any length
Expose all dictionary methods like .get, .pop, .keys and other
Access dicts in lists by index dot['parents.0.first_name']
key=value caching to speed up lookups and low down memory consumption
support for setting value in multidimensional lists
support for accessing lists with slices

Installation
pip install dotty-dict

TODO
Waiting for your feature requests ;)

Quick Example
Create new dotty using factory function.
>>> from dotty_dict import dotty
>>> dot = dotty({'plain': {'old': {'python': 'dictionary'}}})
>>> dot['plain.old']
{'python': 'dictionary'}
You can start with empty dotty
>>> from dotty_dict import dotty
>>> dot = dotty()
>>> dot['very.deeply.nested.thing'] = 'spam'
>>> dot
Dotty(dictionary={'very': {'deeply': {'nested': {'thing': 'spam'}}}}, separator='.', esc_char='\\')

>>> dot['very.deeply.spam'] = 'indeed'
>>> dot
Dotty(dictionary={'very': {'deeply': {'nested': {'thing': 'spam'}, 'spam': 'indeed'}}}, separator='.', esc_char='\\')

>>> del dot['very.deeply.nested']
>>> dot
Dotty(dictionary={'very': {'deeply': {'spam': 'indeed'}}}, separator='.', esc_char='\\')

>>> dot.get('very.not_existing.key')
None
NOTE: Using integer in dictionary keys will be treated as embedded list index.

Install for development
Install dev dependencies
$ make install

Testing
$ make test
Or full tests with TOX:
$ make test-all

Limitations
In some very rare cases dotty may not work properly.

When nested dictionary has two keys of different type, but with the same value.
In that case dotty will return dict or list under random key with passed value.
Keys in dictionary may not contain dots. If you need to use dots, please specify dotty with custom separator.
Nested keys may not be bool type. Bool type keys are only supported when calling keys with type defined value (e.g. dot[True], dot[False]).
