DotWiz

Here is an example of how to create and use a DotWiz object:

from dotwiz import DotWiz

dw = DotWiz({'this': {'works': {'for': [{'nested': {'values': True}}]}}},
            the_answer_to_life=42)

print(dw)
# >  ✫(this=✫(works=✫(for=[✫(nested=✫(values=True))])),
#      the_answer_to_life=42)

assert dw.this.works['for'][0].nested.values  # True
assert dw.the_answer_to_life == 42

print(dw.to_dict())
# >  {'this': {'works': {'for': [{'nested': {'values': True}}]}},
#     'the_answer_to_life': 42}

Using make_dot_wiz allows you to pass in an iterable object when creating a DotWiz object:

from dotwiz import make_dot_wiz

dw = make_dot_wiz([('hello, world!', 123), ('easy: as~ pie?', True)],
                  AnyKey='value')

print(dw)
#> ✫(AnyKey='value', hello, world!=123, easy: as~ pie?=True)

assert dw['hello, world!'] == 123
assert dw['easy: as~ pie?']
assert dw.AnyKey == 'value'

DotWizPlus

DotWiz+ enables you to turn special-cased keys, such as names with spaces, into valid snake_case words in Python, as shown below. Also see the note on Issues with Invalid Characters below.

from dotwiz import DotWizPlus

my_dict = {'THIS': {'1': {'is': [{'For': {'AllOf': {'My !@ Fans!': True}}}]}}}
dw = DotWizPlus(my_dict)

print(dw)
#> ✪(this=✪(_1=✪(is_=[✪(for_=✪(all_of=✪(my_fans=True)))])))

# True
assert dw.this._1.is_[0].for_.all_of.my_fans

# alternatively, you can access it like a dict with the original keys:
assert dw['THIS']['1']['is'][0]['For']['AllOf']['My !@ Fans!']

print(dw.to_dict())
# {'THIS': {'1': {'is': [{'For': {'AllOf': {'My !@ Fans!': True}}}]}}}

print(dw.to_attr_dict())
# {'this': {'_1': {'is_': [{'for_': {'all_of': {'my_fans': True}}}]}}}
