About

Dynamic Gooey (dygo) ...

1. Parses config files (json or yaml)
2. Extracts values which have to be defined by the user
3. Renders a GUI via Gooey
4. Let the user insert the values for the dynamic parameters
5. Inserts the received entries into the config
6. Returns the config

Installation

pip install dygo

Usage

from dygo import render

my_cfg = render("path/to/jsonORyaml")

The dynamic key needs to be inserted as a dict into the config file. The following two examples do the exact same.

• yaml

  my_dynamic_param:
      dygo: 'dygo'
      dest: 'param1'
  

• json

  "my_dynamic_param": {"dygo": "dygo", "dest": "param1"},
  

The rendered GUI looks like this:

The dict will be replaced with the value received from the user. Assuming the user entered abc for param1, the dict afterwards looks like {"my_dynamic_param": "abc"}.

Currently the key dygo serves as a flag for Dynamic Gooey to detect dynamic parameters (the value is ignored). All other key-value pairs in the dygo dict are treated as args for GooeyParser.add_argument (see Gooey for further documentation). Most important is the dest arg whose value will be displayed as a name of the parameter for the user.

Limitations

Currently dygo only descents into dicts, other iterables like lists are yet not supported. This means if a dygo parameter has a list in its map path, it is ignored.
