rtoml 0.3.0

A better TOML library for python implemented in rust.

rtoml

A better TOML library for python implemented in rust.

Why Use rtoml

• Correctness: rtoml is based on the widely used and very stable toml-rs library, it passes all the standard TOML tests as well as having 100% coverage on python code. Other TOML libraries for python I tried all failed to parse some valid TOML.
• Performance: see benchmarks - rtoml is much faster than other TOML libraries for python.

Install

Requires python>=3.7, binaries are available from pypi for linux, macos and windows, see here.

pip install rtoml

If no binary is available on pypi for you system configuration; you'll need rust nightly and setuptools-rust installed before you can install rtoml.

Usage

load

def load(toml: Union[str, Path, TextIO]) -> Any: ...

Parse TOML via a string or file and return a python object. The toml argument may be a str, Path or file object from open().

loads

def loads(toml: str) -> Any: ...

Parse a TOML string and return a python object. (provided to match the interface of json and similar libraries)

dumps

def dumps(obj: Any) -> str: ...

Serialize a python object to TOML.

dump

def dump(obj: Any, file: Union[Path, TextIO]) -> int: ...

Serialize a python object to TOML and write it to a file. file may be a Path or file object from open().

Example

from datetime import datetime, timezone, timedelta
import rtoml

obj = {
    'title': 'TOML Example',
    'owner': {
        'dob': datetime(1979, 5, 27, 7, 32, tzinfo=timezone(timedelta(hours=-8))),
        'name': 'Tom Preston-Werner',
    },
    'database': {
        'connection_max': 5000,
        'enabled': True,
        'ports': [8001, 8001, 8002],
        'server': '192.168.1.1',
    },
}
