Export python objects as dictionnaries so they can then be easily serializable.
Project description
Python-todict allows you to easily turn any python object into a dictionary. It can then be easily serialized, to json for example. The class of the object you want to convert needs to inherit from two mixin classes and hold an attribute listing the attributes to export. List, dict, tuple and set attributes are supported and any attribute object that implements the mixins are recursively converted.
Usage
>>> from todict.mixins import ToDictMixin, FromDictMixin >>> class MyClass(ToDictMixin, FromDictMixin): ... TO_SERIALIZE = ["my_attr"] ... def __init__(self): ... self.my_attr = "data" ... >>> MyClass().to_dict() {'my_attr': 'data'} >>> restored_obj = MyClass.from_dict({'my_attr': 'test'}) >>> getattr(restored_obj, "my_attr") 'test'
Installation
Python-todict can be installed with pip:
$ pip install todict
Launch tests
>>> pip install -r requirements-dev.txt >>> tox
Python: 2.7, 3.6.
