PROGRAMMING

OLIB provides a library you can use to program objects under python3. It provides a basic Object, that mimics a dict while using attribute access and provides a save/load to/from json files on disk. Objects can be searched with a little database module, provides read-only files to improve persistence and use a type in filename reconstruction.

basic usage is this:

>>> from obj import Object
>>> o = Object()
>>> o.key = "value"
>>> o.key
'value'
>>> o
{"key": "value"}

objects can be saved and loaded to JSON files:

>>> from obj import Object, cfg
>>> cfg.wd = "data"
>>> o = Object()
>>> o.key = "value"
>>> path = o.save()
>>> path
'obj.Object/4b58abe2-3757-48d4-986b-d0857208dd96/2021-04-12/21:15:33.734994
>>> oo = Object().load(path)
>>> oo.key
'value'

an Object tries to mimic a dictionary while trying to be an object with normal attribute access as well. Hidden methods are provided as are the basic methods like get, items, keys, register, set, update, values.

great for giving objects peristence by having their state stored in files.
