[!IMPORTANT] This is a learning project. The code quality is poor, tests are sparse and there're countless mistakes. I'm well aware of that. Please don't use this thing in prod (as if anyone were considering that in the first place).
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.
