Attrify

Access python dict keys as attributes

Installation

• Install using pip: pip install attrify

Examples

• Convert normal dict

from attrify import Attrify

normal_dict = {'name': 'Cool'}
attrified_dict = Attrify(normal_dict)
# or
attrified_dict = Attrify(**normal_dict)

assert attrified_dict['name'] == attrified_dict.name

• Convert complex nested dict

complex_nested_normal_dict = {"data": {"results": [{"name": "something"}, {"name": "anything"}]}}
complex_nested_attrified_dict = Attrify(complex_nested_normal_dict)
# or
complex_nested_attrified_dict = Attrify(**complex_nested_normal_dict)

assert complex_nested_attrified_dict.data.results[0].name == complex_nested_normal_dict['data']['results'][0]['name']

• Convert back to dict

normal_dict = {'name': 'Cool'}
attrified_dict = Attrify(normal_dict)
assert type(attrified_dict.to_dict()) == type(normal_dict)

• Keys inside dir: Will only contain with alphabetic keys, To see which keys are considered alphabetic see help(str.isalpha)

attrified_dict = Attrify({'name': 'Cool'})
print(dir(attrified_dict)) # List return will contain the key 'name'.

• There is also a shortcut method to prettify dict, Just calls json.dumps with some args set.

print(complex_nested_attrified_dict.prettify())
