Attributes-accessible mappings chainstuf (like ChainMap) & counterstuf (like Counter)

Project description

Attribute-accesible collections inspired by stuf. Implements chainstuf and counterstuf: versions of ChainMap and Counter that expose their keys as attributes.

The ultimate goal of this module is to have these functions available in the stuf module, and this sidecar to be retired.

Usage

Use these just like you would ChainMap and Counter, except that you get attribute-style access as well.

For chainstuf:

from chainstuf import chainstuf

d1 = dict(this=1, that=2)
d2 = dict(roger=99, that=100)

# test simple attribute equivalence
c = chainstuf(d1, d2)

assert c.this == 1
assert c.roger == 99

c.roger = 'wilco'
assert c.roger
print "roger", c.roger

d1.update(feeling='fancypants!')
print "i'm feeling", c.feeling     # passed through, since d2 lacks 'feeling'

For counterstuf:

from counterstuf import counterstuf

c = counterstuf()
c.update("this and this is this but that isn't this".split())
c.total = sum(c.values())

print "everything:", c.total
print "'this' mentioned", c.this, "times"
print "'bozo' mentioned", c.bozo, "times"
print c

Installation

pip install otherstuf

(You may need to prefix this with “sudo “ to authorize installation.)
