pyobjict 1.1.13

A Python dict that supports attribute-style access as well as hierarchical keys, JSON serialization, ZIP compression, and more.

Turn a dict into an Object or objict!

Based on uberdict(https://github.com/eukaryote/uberdict)

Installation

pip install pyobjict

Some Differences:

• Support for to/from JSON
• Support for to/from XML
• Support for to/from ZIP compression (base64)
• Support to/from file
• When an attribute is not found it returns None instead of raising an Error
• Support for .get("a.b.c")
• Support for delta between to objicts (obj.changes())
• Will automatically handle key conversion from "a.b.c" to "a -> b -> c" creation

Simple to use!

>>> from objict import objict
>>> d1 = objict(name="John", age=24)
>>> d1
{'name': 'John', 'age': 24}
>>> d1.name
'John'
>>> d1.age
24
>>> d1.gender = "male"
>>> d1
{'name': 'John', 'age': 24, 'gender': 'male'}
>>> d1.gender
'male'
>>> import datetime
>>> d1.dob = datetime.datetime(1985, 5, 2)
>>> d1.dob
datetime.datetime(1985, 5, 2, 0, 0)
>>> d1.toJSON()
{'name': 'John', 'age': 24, 'gender': 'male', 'dob': 483865200.0}
>>> d1.save("test1.json")
>>> d2 = objict.fromFile("test1.json")
>>> d2
{'name': 'John', 'age': 24, 'gender': 'male', 'dob': 483865200.0}
>>> d2.toXML()
'<name>John</name><age>24</age><gender>male</gender><dob>483865200.0</dob>'
>>> d3 = objict(user1=d2)
>>> d3.user2 = objict(name="Jenny", age=27)
>>> d3
{'user1': {'name': 'John', 'age': 24, 'gender': 'male', 'dob': 483865200.0}, 'user2': {'name': 'Jenny', 'age': 27}}
>>> d3.toXML()
'<user1><name>John</name><age>24</age><gender>male</gender><dob>483865200.0</dob></user1><user2><name>Jenny</name><age>27</age></user2>'
