destructipy

es6 style dict/object destructure for python

install:

$ pip install destructipy

usage:

# must import this way...
from destructipy import _ as ds

# support dicts
abcd = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3, 'd': 4}

# ds.i()/ds.item() - using operator.itemgetter
# dict safe, will probably raise error if not dict
d, c, \
b, a = ds.i(abcd)
print(a, b, c, d)

# func can be named however you wish...
from destructipy import _ as unpack

# supports objects
class ABCD:
    a = 1
    b = 2
abcd = ABCD()
abcd.c = 3
abcd.d = 4

# unpack.a()/unpack.attr() - using operator.attrgetter
# notice: dicts can also be passed but it will get their attributes, not items)
d, c, \
b, a = unpack.a(abcd)
print(a, b, c, d)

from destructipy import _ as ds

abcd_dict = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3, 'd': 4}

class ABCD:
    a = 5
    b = 6
abcd_obj = ABCD()
abcd_obj.c = 7
abcd_obj.d = 8

# ds() - auto decide if it's dict or object
# good for one time or mixed dict-object/small lists
# got minor performance penalty, see benchmark below
d, c, b, a = ds(abcd_dict)
print(a, b, c, d)

d, c, b, a = ds(abcd_obj)
print(a, b, c, d)

caveats:

• Does not work on the Interactive Python Console (no source to analyze...)
• If you plan to compile your .py to .pyc and delete the source, run $ python -m destructipy in your project root to create .destructipy cache file before doing so
• It is recommended to place a import destructipy on your project init for destructipy to keep the initial cwd (current working directory), just incase you switch the cwd later on using os.chdir or such...
• using sys._getframe which is only implemented at CPython. tested on 2.7 and 3.8
