FlatDict
FlatDict and FlatterDict are dict classes that allow for single level,
delimited key/value pair mapping of nested dictionaries. You can interact with
FlatDict and FlatterDict like a normal dictionary and access child
dictionaries as you normally would or with the composite key.
For example:
value = flatdict.FlatDict({'foo': {'bar': 'baz', 'qux': 'corge'}})
would be the same as:
value == {'foo:bar': 'baz', 'foo:qux': 'corge'}
values can be accessed as:
print(foo['foo:bar'])
# or
print(foo['foo']['bar'])
Additionally, lists and tuples are also converted into dicts using enumerate(),
using the FlatterDict class.
For example:
value = flatdict.FlatterDict({'list': ['a', 'b', 'c']})
will be the same as:
value == {'list:0': 'a', 'list:1': 'b', 'list:2': 'c'}
