vdf 1.3

Library for working with Valve's VDF text format

VDF is Valve’s KeyValue text file format

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/KeyValues

The module works just like json to convert VDF to a dict, and vise-versa.

Known Issues

• order is not preserved due to using dict

• there are known files that contain duplicate keys

Install

You can grab the latest release from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/vdf or via pip

pip install vdf

Usage

import vdf

# parsing vdf from file or string
d = vdf.load(open('file.txt'))
d = vdf.loads(vdf_text)
d = vdf.parse(open('file.txt'))
d = vdf.parse(vdf_text)

# dumping dict as vdf to string
vdf_text = vdf.dumps(d)
indented_vdf = vdf.dumps(d, pretty=True)

# dumping dict as vdf to file
vdf.dump(d, open('file2.txt','w'), pretty=True)
