Basic python data structures backed by a human editable yaml file

Basic python data structures backed by a human editable yaml file

Provides a dead simple way to store small amounts of information for python programs. This is useful for program configs and similar.

Has the advantage that the files backing the data structures are human readable and can be edited using your favorite text editor.

from yaml_backed_structs import PersistentDict, PersistentSet

pdict = PersistentDict('my-path.yml')
pdict['a'] = 1 # this will automatically be saved
pdict['b'] = []
pdict['b'].append(2) # this will not be saved automatically
pdict.save() # but we can save it like this
