synod by Gnifajio

Python dictionary with synonyms

Description

Python does not support the list type as a dictionary key, and there are more synonyms. I solved this problem by creating my own synod data type that allows me to do this. Below is an example of how it works.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/gnifajio/synod.git
cd synod
python3 setup.py install

Or

pip install synod

Usage

from synod import synod
synoded = synod([
        [['development', 'dev'], [
            'all_inclusive',    'backend', 'frontend',
            'prototyping',      'android', 'desktop',     
            '1c_dev', 'games',  'other',   'scripts',
            'voice_interfaces', 'ios',     'bots',
        ]],
        [['testing', 'tst'], [
            'sites', 'mobile', 'software',
        ]],
        [['admin', 'adm'], [
            'servers', 'network', 'databases',
            'security', 'other' ,
        ]]
        ]
    )

synoded['dev'] == synoded['development'] # True
'dev' in synoded # True
synoded.get('wtf') # synod.EmptyValue
synoded.get('testing') # [ 'sites', 'mobile', 'software' ]
synoded.has_key('tst') # True
synoded.is_synonym('adm') # True
synoded.get_main_key('adm') # 'admin'
del synoded['dev']
synoded.has_key(dev) # False
synoded.clear()
synoded # {}
