The Pythonic Archive Kit

PAK: Picklable and Encrypted Recursive Namespace

PAK is a simple, recursive namespace that can be pickled and encrypted.

Installation

pip install pythonic_archive_kit

if you wish to use the full implementation, you can run:

pip install pythonic_archive_kit[encryption]

Updating

pip install --upgrade pythonic_archive_kit

Requirements

Optionally the cryptography package can be installed to use the full implementation.

pip install cryptography

Usage

The PAK class provides a way to create a recursive namespace that can be pickled and encrypted.

Classes

PAK

class PAK(SimpleNamespace):
    """This is the core of the PAK system. It is a recursive namespace that can be pickled and encrypted."""
    # ...

Methods

save(data, path, password=None)

def save(data, path, password=None):
    """Save a PAK file to disk."""
    # ...

load(path, password=None, create=True)

def load(path, password=None, create=True):
    """Load a PAK file from disk. If create is True, a new PAK file will be created if one does not exist."""
    # ...

open_pak(path, password=None, create=True)

@contextlib.contextmanager
def open_pak(path, password=None, create=True):
    """Open a PAK file from disk. If create is True, a new PAK file will be created if one does not exist. Saves the PAK file on exit."""
    # ...

Examples

Importing

from pythonic_archive_kit import save_pak, load_pak, open_pak

This will import the standard interface. If cryptography is installed, this will use the main PAK implementation. If cryptography is not installed, this will use the fallback MiniPAK implementation.

### RPG Save Data

Here's an example of using PAK to save and load player data for an RPG game:

```py
# Save player data
with open_pak("player_data.pak") as player_data:
    player_data.stats.level = 10
    player_data.inventory.gold = 500
    player_data.inventory.items = ["sword", "shield"]

# Load player data
with open_pak("player_data.pak") as player_data:
    print(player_data.stats.level)  # Output: 10

Project Management

PAK can also be used for managing project data:

# Save project data
with open_pak("project_data.pak") as project:
    project.name = "My Awesome Project"
    project.tasks = ["design", "implementation", "testing"]

# Load project data
with open_pak("project_data.pak") as project:
    print(project.name)  # Output: My Awesome Project

Personal Notes

Even for personal note-taking, PAK can be useful:

# Save personal notes
with open_pak("personal_notes.pak") as notes:
    notes.journal.day1 = "Visited the park"
    notes.reminders = ["Buy groceries", "Call mom"]

# Load personal notes
with open_pak("personal_notes.pak") as notes:
    print(notes.journal.day1)  # Output: Visited the park
