# Lenses
Lenses is a python library that helps you to manipulate large
data-structures without mutating them. It is inspired by the lenses in
Haskell, although it's much less principled and the api is more suitable
for python.
## Installation
You can install the latest github version using pip like so:
pip install lenses
You can uninstall similarly:
pip uninstall lenses
## Documentation
The lenses library makes liberal use of docstrings, which you can access
as normal with the `pydoc` shell command, the `help` function in the
repl, or by reading the source yourself.
Most users will only need the docs from `lenses.UnboundLens`. If you want
to add hooks to allow parts of the library to work with custom objects
then you should check out the `lenses.hooks` module. Most of the fancy
lens code is in the `lenses.optics` module for those who are curious
how everything works.
Some examples are given in the [`examples`](examples) folder and a tutorial
is available in the [`tutorial`](tutorial/index.md) folder.
Here's a simple example:
```python
>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> from lenses import lens
>>>
>>> data = [{'name': 'Jane', 'scores': ['a', 'a', 'b', 'a']},
... {'name': 'Richard', 'scores': ['c', None, 'd', 'c']},
... {'name': 'Zoe', 'scores': ['f', 'f', None, 'f']}]
...
>>> format_scores = lens.each_()['scores'].each_().instance_(str).call_upper()
>>> cheat = lens[2]['scores'].each_().set('a')
>>>
>>> corrected = format_scores(data)
>>> pprint(corrected)
[{'name': 'Jane', 'scores': ['A', 'A', 'B', 'A']},
{'name': 'Richard', 'scores': ['C', None, 'D', 'C']},
{'name': 'Zoe', 'scores': ['F', 'F', None, 'F']}]
>>>
>>> cheated = format_scores(cheat(data))
>>> pprint(cheated)
[{'name': 'Jane', 'scores': ['A', 'A', 'B', 'A']},
{'name': 'Richard', 'scores': ['C', None, 'D', 'C']},
{'name': 'Zoe', 'scores': ['A', 'A', 'A', 'A']}]
```
