hytato

Module for storing python dictionaries in a different format. Supported down to python 3.3.

why?

cause why not?

Needed a way to store data in a way that fit my needs, and so decided to create potato(lib). Potato works with dictionaries. You could use json for that but as I said, needed something for my needs.

Potato types

There are two different kinds of potato files: HTATO and STATO.

HTATO or hard potato have a fixed number of keys. STATO or soft potato don't have a fixed number of keys.

There are a number of other differences which will be made clearer in the future. One difference being that STATO files are inherently different. The HTATO files are really just .txt, whereas STATO are zip files. This means you can store a "tree" of data, and also version history

Usage

HTATO example:

from hytato import POTATO

#Add the path of the potato file in HTATO class, which will have either the .htato or .stato file extension.
config_potato = POTATO.HTATO('.\\config.htato')

#if it doesn't exist yet, create the potato file
#add the list of keys you want
config_potato.PLANT(['token', 'passcode', 'fatherless'])

#when the potato has been planted, the values to the keys will all be none, so now add the data

config_potato.INJECT({'token': 112233, 'passcode': 'gugugaga', 'fatherless': True})

#if it succeeded, it won't raise an error lol
#but you can also assign it to a variable beforehand
#and then check from the class returned
#i.e:

injection = config_potato.INJECT({'token': 112233, 'passcode': 'gugugaga', 'fatherless': True})
if injection.complete == True:
    print('yipee')

#to access the data from potato, use the stain method:
config = config_potato.STAIN()
#and just use the dictionary it returns
token = config.get('token')
