dicts-paths-handler 1.0.1

A library that allows access to Python dictionary values ​​in a more readable way

dicts_paths_handler

A library that allows access to Python dictionary values in a more readable way by separating keys using dot notation.

Installation

pip install dicts_paths_handler 
#or
py -m pip install dicts_paths_handler

Usage :

First, create a new instance of DictsPathsHandler :

import dicts_paths_handler

your_dict = {
    "language":{
        "availables":("Python", "C", "Java", "C#"),
        "selected":"Python",
    }
}
dph = dicts_paths_handler.DictsPathsHandler(your_dict)

You can access any value in your_dict simply by calling its 'dict_path'. In the following example, we want to access to the value of your_dict['language']['selected']

selected_language = dph.get_value("language.selected")
print(selected_language)

# Should print 'Python'

An InvalidDictPathError exception will be raised if the dict_path is not found or invalid

You can also edit a value. In this example, we want to change the value of your_dict[language]['selected'] :

dph.edit_value("language.selected", "C#")
print(dph.get_value("language.selected")) # Should print 'C#'

An InvalidDictPathError exception will be raised if the dict path is not found or invalid

How does it work ?

Each key of the dict is a part of the dict path, in the normal order of python dict keys : keyA.keyAA.keyAAA.
