dummio 0.2.0

Easiest-possible IO for basic file types.

dummio

IO for dummies! We make IO as easy as possible by implementing the most common and recommendable default options. (Users may pass additional keyword arguments to the underlying IO methods.) For example, instead of

import json

with open(file_path, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as file:
    data = json.load(file)

you can simply

import dummio

data = dummio.json.load(file_path)

So far we support:

• text
• json
• yaml

Note that yaml is not a required dependency; you may install dummio and use it for json without bothering with yaml installation. Any other IO modules to be added will similarly be optional.

Examples

import dummio

text = "hello world"
data = {"key": text}
path = "io_example_file"

# Text
dummio.text.save(text, path=path)
assert text == dummio.text.load(path)

# JSON
dummio.json.save(data)
assert data == dummio.json.load(path)

# YAML
dummio.yaml.save(data)
assert data == dummio.yaml.load(path)
