prefs 0.0.81

A simple program that creates, read and write prefs

Why?

PREFS's purpose is to facilitate the process of store information, user information (that won't get lost when you close the program). Prefs is the abreviation of preferences, usually user preferences, but also you can store whatever you want.

Installation:

On windows: pip install PREFS

On Mac and Linux: pip3 install PREFS

Also if you want to see the code you can download __init__.py, i sometimes forgot to upload the code, so for get the latest version check https://pypi.org/project/PREFS/.

Store Prefs

The main feature is to store preferences, read and write them. It creates a .txt file where in a dictionary like structure, your prefs will be stored, i.e.:

firstEntry="02/05/2021"
theme="Dark"
username="Patitotective"
age="21"

Syntaxis:

Each prefs file is an instace of PREFS class, first you have to create an instance of the class PREFS:

UserPrefs = PREFS.PREFS(prefs = {"age": 21, "username": "Patitotective"})

from this you could call the two methods:

ReadPrefs(): It will return a dictionary with your prefs (key and value).

WritePrefs(): It requires two arguments, first the name of the pref that you want to change (if pref exists) or create it if it doesn't.
