Dirtree DB
Hierarchical, plain file database-like python library.
"Wow, this thing is stupid." - myself, 2026
The main use case for this library is collaborative data collection in a git repo. It's terrible at that, but not as much as using it for things a database would be used for normally.
Installation & Usage
Installation:
# Requires python 3.11 or newer
pip install dirtree-db
Usage:
from dirtree_db import Database
from pathlib import Path
db = Database(Path("path/to/directory/containing/config/toml"))
You will need a config.toml file in the path selected when defining the database, this is a minimal functional example:
[store]
name = "name"
Usage of functions of the Database class and syntax of config.toml are explained in a separate document
Nix
If for some reason you want to use nix for this library, add this flake input to your flake:
dirtree-db.url = "github:first-non-interesting-username/dirtree-db";
You can then access this package in your flake as:
inputs.dirtree-db.packages.${pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.system}.dirtree-db
Tech stack
This library is made using almost only Python standard libraries, jsonschema is the only exception.
