• dictdumper.Dumper -- abstract base class of all dumpers
• dictdumper.JSON -- dump JavaScript object notation (JSON) format file
• dictdumper.PLIST -- dump Apple property list (PLIST) format file
• dictdumper.Tree -- dump tree-view text (TXT) format file
• dictdumper.XML -- dump extensible markup language (XML) file (base class)
• dictdumper.HTML -- dump JavaScript file under Vue.js framework (DEPRECATED)

 

Installation:

Note that dictdumper supports Python versions 2.7 and all versions since 3.0

pip install dictdumper

 

Usage

  dictdumper is quite easy to use. After installation, importation, and initialisation, you can simple call the instance to dump contents.

Take dictdumper.Tree for example

import dictdumper
dumper = dictdumper.Tree('out.txt')
test_1 = dict(
    foo=-1,
    bar='Hello, world!',
    boo=dict(
        foo_again=True,
        bar_again=memoryview(b'bytes'),
        boo_again=None,
    ),
)
dumper(test_1, name='test_1')

$ cat out.txt
test_1
  |-- foo -> -1
  |-- bar -> Hello, world!
  |-- boo
        |-- foo_again -> True
        |-- bar_again
        |     |-- type -> memoryview
        |     |-- value -> 62 79 74 65 73
        |     |-- text -> bytes
        |-- boo_again -> NIL

import datetime
test_2 = dict(
    foo=[1, 2.0, 3],
    bar=(1.0, bytearray(b'a long long bytes'), 3.0),
    boo=dict(
        foo_again=b'bytestring',
        bar_again=datetime.datetime(2020, 1, 31, 20, 15, 10, 163010),
        boo_again=float('-inf'),
    ),
)
