Quick Start

Here's a simple example to get you started. First, install the package:

pip3 install python-dict-display-filter

Then, use it to filter a list of dictionaries:

from pydictdisplayfilter import DictDisplayFilter
actors = [
    {"name": ["Laurence", "Fishburne"], "age": {"born": "1961"}, "gender": "male"},
    {"name": ["Keanu", "Reeves"], "age": {"born": "1964"}, "gender": "male", "power": ["flight", "bullet-time"]},
    {"name": ["Joe", "Pantoliano"], "age": {"born": "1951"}, "gender": "male"},
    {"name": ["Carrie-Anne", "Moss"], "age": {"born": "1967"}, "gender": "female"}
]
ddf = DictDisplayFilter(actors)

# This will filter the list to show only male actors born between 1960 and 1965 whose names end with 'e'
filtered_actors = ddf.filter("gender == male and (age.born > 1960 and age.born < 1965) and name matches .*e$")

print(list(filtered_actors))
[{'name': ['Laurence', 'Fishburne'], 'age': {'born': '1961'}, 'gender': 'male'}]
