Nested OBject manipulations

nob: the Nested OBject manipulator

Deep nested data is sometimes difficult to map with objects in an Object Relational Mapping (ORM) appraoch. Suppose e.g. you're working with this file:

root:
  System:
    Library:
      Frameworks:
        Python.framework:
          Versions:
            2.7:
              bin: python2.7

If you wanted the last value here using pure Python, you would have to write something like:

pure_python['root']['System']['Library']['Frameworks']['Python.framework']['Versions']['2.7']['bin']

Gosh that's bad, it doesn't even fit in the screen! This is where nob shines: it offers a simple set of tools to explore and edit any nested data (Python native dicts and lists). With nob, this becomes:

nob_object['bin'][:]

Pretty neat, no? For more, checkout nob's documentation.

Installation

pip install nob

Enough said :)
