Easier way of accessing & assigning information in a nested dictionary.

Project description

#### drop-in replacement for the built-in dictionary These assignments to nested dict object are valid.

nd = NestedDict() nd[‘foo’] = ‘bar’ nd.update({‘foo’: ‘bar’}) nd.setdefault(key=’foo’, default=’bar’)

#### if the key is a tuple, it trigger special function.

n[‘a’] = None n[(‘a’, ‘b’)] = None # ‘b’ is a new key at ‘a’ n[(‘b’, ‘c’)] = 123 # ‘c’ is a new key at ‘b’

assert n == {‘a’: {‘b’: {‘c’: 123}}}

#### if the key is a string with <code> ‘/’ </code>, trigger the nested function

n[‘a/b/c’] = 123 assert n == {‘a’: {‘b’: {‘c’: 123}}}

### access nested content easily

k = nd.NestedDict({‘a’: {‘b’: {‘c’: 123}}, ‘d’: {‘e’: 456}})

assert k[‘a’][‘b’][‘c’] == 123 assert k[‘b’][‘c’] == 123 assert k[‘c’] == 123

assert k[[‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’]] == 123 assert k[[‘b’, ‘c’]] == 123 assert k[[‘c’]] == 123

assert k[‘a/b/c’] == 123 assert k[‘b/c’] == 123
