A Python `dict` with a merge() method.
Project description
mergedict - A Python dict with a merge() method
A MergeDict is a dict with a merge() method. merge() is like dict.update()…
from mergedict import MergeDict d1 = MergeDict({'a': 1, 'b': 'one'}) d1.merge({'a':2, 'c': [2]}) assert d1 == {'a': 2, 'c': [2], 'b': 'one'}
A MergeDict can be subclassed to create custom “merge” operations based on the type of an item value.
from mergedict import MergeDict class SumDict(MergeDict): @MergeDict.dispatch(int) def merge_int(this, other): return this + other d2 = SumDict({'a': 1, 'b': 'one'}) d2.merge({'a':2, 'b': 'two'}) assert d2 == {'a': 3, 'b': 'two'}
mergedict module comes with a ConfigDict that will extend/update lists/sets/dicts.
from mergedict import ConfigDict d3 = ConfigDict({'a': 1, 'my_list': [1, 2]}) d3.merge({'a':2, 'my_list': [3, 4]}) assert d3 == {'a': 2, 'my_list': [1, 2, 3, 4]}
