Pressdict 1.0.0

Example of usage

Pressdict can mostly be used like a normal Python dict:

from pressdict import Pressdict
pd = Pressdict()
pd["test"] = {"key": "value", "key2": 2}
print(pd["test"])

Important

Remember that everything in the dict is stored as string and is therefor IMMUTABLE!! That means that THIS WILL NOT WORK:

pd["list"].append("item")  # will not work!
pd["dict"]["new_key"] = "value"  # will not work!

Thus, changes to objects in the Pressdict have to be explicit:

pd["list"] = pd["list"] + ["item"]

d = pd["dict"]
d["new_key"] = "value"
pd["dict"] = d

Lists

NEW: Package now also includes a pressed list:

from pressdict import Presslist
pl = Presslist()
pl.append({"key": "value", "key2": 2})
print(pl[0])

Note that the same restrictions apply as for Pressdicts: You can not modify a stored object directly. You need to retrieve the object, modify it and store it again.
