deflatable-dict
A dictionary that can be flattened and re-inflated. Particularly useful if you're interacting with yaml, for example.
Installation
with pip:
pip install deflatable-dict
deflatable-dict does not have any dependencies beyond standard python libraries.
Instantiation
from deflatabledict import DeflatableDict
dd = DeflatableDict({
"a": {
"1": True,
"2": False,
},
"b": 20,
})
dd["a.1"] # True
dd["a.2"] # False
dd["b"] # 20
dd["a"] # { "1": True, "2": False }
Deflation
A DeflatableDict can be deflated with .deflate(). This returns a standard dictionary object with flattened keys constructed by concatenating the nested keys with the DeflatableDict's delimiter. A DeflatableDict uses it's deflated form for its string representation.
Delimiter
A DeflatableDict can have it's delimiter specified by passing the desired delimiter as the sep parameter to the DeflatableDict constructor. By default the delimiter if ..
Inflation
A DeflatableDict will automatically inflate any values that are inserted into it. For example:
from deflatabledict import DeflatableDict
dd = DeflatableDict()
dd["a.1"] = True
dd["a.2"] = False
dd["a"] # { "1": True, "2": False }
