QuickVars

Python 3 variable storage module centered around the in-built pickle module.
This module contains 3 functions: "QuickVars.setVar()", "QuickVars.getVar()", and "QuickVars.delVar()".
Though very self-explanitory, more details on each function are below.

QuickVars.setVar(key, val, t = 'data')

@param key : The key param is used as the key in a Dictionary, choose your datatype
             accordingly.
 
@param val : The val param takes the data stored under the key, and can be any Dictionary
             compatible value.
 
@param t   : The t param chooses the file to store the key-value pair in.
 
@returns   : Dictionary containing values stored in the file.

The setVar function will take a minimum of two params (key, val), and has an optional
param (t). The key-value pairs will be added to an encoded (Please note: Strictly speaking
it is not encrypted and should not be considered safe to store valuable information) JSON
file at: "data/{Script Name Without Extension}_{t}.dat".

QuickVars.getVar(key, t = 'data')

@param key : The key to search for in stored dictionary.

@param t   : The t param chooses the file to search for the key-value pair in.

@returns   : Stored Value (May be one of many data types).

The getVar function will take a minimum of one param (key), and has an optional param (t). The
function will search the chosen files dictionary for the key and return it if found, otherwise
return 'None'.

QuickVars.delVar(key, t = 'data')

@param key : The key to remove from stored dictionary.

@param t   : The t param chooses the file to search for the key-value pair in.

@returns   : Stored Dictionary after attempting to remove indicated key.

The delVar function will take a minimum of one param (key), and has an optional param (t). The
function will search the chosen files dictionary for the key and delete it if found, returning
the dictionary.

Examples

import QuickVars as QV

lst = []
for (i in range(20)):
    lst.append(i)
QV.setVar('test', lst)
# Returns: {'test': [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19]}

print(QV.getVar('test'))
# Outputs: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19]

QV.setVar('test1', '5*9.2=' + str(5*9.2))
# Returns: {'test': [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19], 'test1': '5*9.2=46.0'}

QV.setVar('test', 'different value here!', 'foo')
# Returns: {'test': 'different value here!'}

QV.delVar('test', 'data')
# Return: {'test1': '5*9.2=46.0'}
