Library for parsing and writing Simple Property List (SPL) files

SPLLib

This is bespoke to another one of my projects and is currently very alpha-software. I intend to improve it

Library for interacting with .spl files. A format created by me

SPL files stands for simple property list

Format

An SPL file can be written according to the following specification

• any line matching r"^\s*#" is ignored
• Anything matching r"#\s*\n" is ignored
• all other lines should begin with a tag name
• then an equal sign with optional whitespace on either side
• then either (1) a comma separated list of tags or (2) an asterisk

In general, you can have comments starting with # until the new line

Keys are to the left of the = and values are to the right. Keys and values can contain any character except neither can contain =, \n, nor \r\n. Furthermore, whitespace at the end of a key and beginning of a value is ignored
