dotwiz 0.2.0

DotWiz is a blazing fast dict subclass that enables accessing (nested) keys in dot notation.

A blazing fast dict subclass that enables dot access notation via Python attribute style. Nested dict and list values are automatically transformed as well.

• Documentation: https://dotwiz.readthedocs.io.

Install

$ pip install dotwiz

Usage

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

assert dw.this.works['for'][0].nested.values  # True
assert dw.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)
#> DotWiz(AnyKey='value', hello, world!=123, easy: as~ pie?=True)

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

Benchmarks

Check out the Benchmarks section in the docs for more info.

Using a dot-access approach such as DotWiz can be up to 100x faster than with make_dataclass from the dataclasses module.

It’s also about 5x faster to create a DotWiz from a dict object as compared to other libraries such as prodict – or close to 15x faster than creating a Box – and up to 10x faster in general to access keys by dot notation – or almost 30x faster than accessing keys from a DotMap.
