tomfoolery

Tool to generate Python dataclasses that model and load toml files (or other can-representated-as-a-dict files).
Primarily aimed at configuration type files.

Installation

Install with:

pip install tomfoolery

Usage

Given the following file (venue.toml):

Running the command

tomfoolery venue.toml

will produce this file (venue.py):

which can then be used:

>from venue import Venue
>venue = Venue.load()
>print(venue.address.city)
'Chicago'
>venue.calendar.start_month = "March"
>venue.dump()

Current Caveats

• Only works with .toml and .json files.
• All keys must be valid Python variable names.
• If the schema of your original file changes, you can rerun the tool to update the dataclass; however, anything that you have added or modified will be overwritten.
