dict implementation supporting attribute access, recursion, json, hashable, subclass, metaclass

Project description

d1ct - a hybrid object/mapping

FEATURES

  • directly inherited from dict
  • accessible by attribute. o.x == o['x']
  • This works also for all corner cases.
  • json.dumps json.loads
  • vars() works on it!
  • hashable! (should not yet trust on it, though)
  • autocomplete works even if the objects comes from a list
  • best of all, it works recursively. So all inner dicts will become d1cts too.

ehhh, no downsides?

oh hell yeah it got downsides

the performance which is a magnitude slower (~6x) than builtin dict
to give you an impression of timeit results:

So... this implementation might have side effects which I did not notice, because of different use cases or whatever.

Usage / Testing

from d1ct import Dict

d = Dict({"a": 1, "b": {"b1": "c1"}}, kw1=1, kw2=2)
d["z1"] = {}
d.z1.update({"yyyy": 2323232})

assert d.a == d['a'] == 1
assert d.z1 == d['z1'] == {'yyyy': 2323232}
assert d == {'a': 1, 'b': {'b1': 'c1'}, 'kw1': 1, 'kw2': 2, 'z1': {'yyyy': 2323232}}
assert type(d.z1) is Dict

d.z1.update({"yyyy": 2323232})
assert type(d.z1.yyyy) is int

d.z1.update({"yyyy": {"xbb": [1, 2, 23]}})
assert type(d.z1.yyyy) is Dict

import json
json.dumps(d)

d |= {'more_keys': {'really': 'yeah!'}}

assert d == {'a': 1,'b': {'b1': 'c1'}, 'kw1': 1,'kw2': 2, 'z1': {'yyyy': {'xbb': [1, 2, 23] } },'more_keys': {'really': 'yeah!'} }
