Install

pip install t_dict

Why?

Dealing with deep nested dicts can be a total pain. TDict aims to make less boring working with it, using jsonpointer syntax for that.

It stand on the shoulders of jsonpointer (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/jsonpointer), which implements the RFC - https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901

Usage

from t_dict.t_dict import TDict

td = TDict({'nested': { 'dict': 'here', 'other': {'spam': 'eggs'} }})
td.find('/nested/dict')
>> 'here'
td.find('/nested/notfound', 'defaultvalue')
>> 'defaultvalue'

td.setin('/nested/dict', 'new')
td['nested']['dict'] == 'new'
>> True

# converts dict to TDict
isinstance(td.find('/nested/other'), TDict)
>> True
