Dict¶

class pydu.dict.AttrDict(seq=None, **kwargs)¶

A AttrDict object is like a dictionary except obj.foo can be used in addition to obj['foo'].

>>> from pydu.dict import AttrDict
>>> o = AttrDict(a=1)
o.a
1
>>> o['a']
1
>>> o.a = 2
>>> o['a']
2
>>> del o.a
>>> o.a
Traceback (most recent call last):
 ...    AttributeError: 'a'

class pydu.dict.CaseInsensitiveDict(data=None, **kwargs)¶

A case-insensitive dict-like object. Implements all methods and operations of collections.MutableMapping as well as dict’s copy. Also provides lower_items. All keys are expected to be strings. The structure remembers the case of the last key to be set, and iter(instance), keys(), items(), iterkeys(), and iteritems() will contain case-sensitive keys.

>>> from pydu.dict import CaseInsensitiveDict
>>> cid = CaseInsensitiveDict()
>>> cid['Accept'] = 'application/json'
>>> cid['aCCEPT'] == 'application/json'
True
>>> list(cid) == ['Accept']
True

class pydu.dict.LookupDict(name=None)¶

Dictionary lookup object.

>>> from pydu.dict import LookupDict
>>> d = LookupDict()
>>> d['key']
None
>>> d['key'] = 1
>>> d['key']
1

pydu.dict.attrify(obj)¶

Attrify obj into AttriDict or list of AttriDict if the obj is list.

>>> from pydu.dict import attrify
>>> attrd = attrify({
    'a': [1, 2, {'b': 'b'}],
    'c': 'c',
})
>>> attrd
<AttrDict {'a': [1, 2, <AttrDict {'b': 'b'}>], 'c': 'c'}>
>>> attrd.a
1
>>> attrd.a[2].b
b
>>> attrd.c
c
