ya-pickledb (Yet Another PickleDB) is a an open-source key-value store for Python using the msgpack module. It is heavily inspired by pickledb, but also provides new features (like thread-safety using safer).

The new feature additions are inspired by elara; but since it cannot serialize complex data structure to filesystem I decided to take the best of both worlds and create a new package.

⚡ Features

• Manipulate different data structures (strings, lists, dictionaries and so on)
• Fast and flexible
• Thread-safe!
• Choose between manual and auto commits
• Cache simple data structures

📚 Usage

import ya_pickledb

db = ya_pickledb.load('kvstore.db', True)

db.set('foo', 'bar')
value = db.get('foo')

print(value)

This is the full list of all functions available to the user:

• commit(): manually save the data to file storage.
• set(key, value, max_age=None): set the value of a key.
• get(key): get the value of a key.
• getall(): get a list of all keys.
• exists(key): get wheter a key exists or not.
• rem(key): remove a key.
• totalkeys(): get a total number of keys inside the db.
• lcreate(key): create a list.
• lpush(key, value): add a value to a list.
• lgetall(key): return all values in a list.
• lget(key, value, pos): return the value in a specific position of a list.
• lremlist(key): remove a list.
• lremvalue(key, value): remove a value from a list.
• lpop(key, pos): remove ne value in a list.
• llen(key): return the length of a list.
• lexists(key, value): determine if a value exists in a list.
• hcreate(key): create a dict.
• hset(key, dict_key, value): add a key-value pair to a dict.
• hget(key, dict_key): get the value for a key in a dict.
• hgetall(key): get all the key-value pairs from a dict.
• hrem(key): remove a dict.
• hpop(key, dict_key): remove one key-value pair fro a dict.
• hkeys(key): get all the keys for a dict.
• hvals(key): get all the values for a dict.
• hexists(key, dict_key): determine if a key exists in a dict.

All the functions should return None if something goes wrong (e.g. the key accessed is missing). Errors are raised when the input type is wrong (e.g. setting a bool as key).
