An elegant hierarchical (or "onioned") properties parser
Project description
__ONION_PROPS__
ONION_PROPS is a simple python module meant to simplify interaction with java .properties files.
It provides the benefit of being able to parse properties hierarchically to provide a more robust way of storing and using properties.
Currently it provides the ability to:
* load properties from a file (and interact with it as you would a normal dictionary)
* interact (add/delete/edit) with properties
* save properties to a file
ONION_PROPS also supports comments, you can specify whether or not to include comments within any interactor method as well as whether or not to include a timestamp.
USAGE:
To import base parser class:
```from onion_props.onion_props import PropParser```
NOTE:
To add properties to the parser object, it is advised that you also import:
```from onion_props.onion_props import Property, Properties```
As they are the custom data storage classes PropParser uses.
It is possible to add properties as standard dictionary key-values, but in order to add comments, you must import the `Property` class.
Changelog (Onion_props)
=======================
0.2.1
------
- Changed name from prop_parser to onion_parser to accommodate for pypi
0.2.2
------
- Removed integrated modules from install_requires to allow proper installation
0.2.3
-----
- Fixed another dumb error so that now installation can actually be achieved
