metastruct

This library, simply, translates Python dictionary objects into first-class Python objects whose attributes match that of the original Python dictionaty object.

This library can be used to clean up code that would otherwise be riddled with messy string-based dictionary lookups. This library also lends itself to the use of operators.attrgetter, which can be used to further clean up and simplify code bases.

>>> from metastruct import Metastruct
>>> from operator import attrgetter
>>> s = Metastruct({'product': {'name': 'foo', 'type': 'foo_type'}, 'quantity': 10})
>>> s.product.name
'foo'
>>> s.quantity
10
>>> attrgetter('product.name')(s)
'foo'
>>> attrgetter('quantity')(s)
10

todo

• Implement code to allow camelcase or underscore notation when accessing attributes on the class.

• Implement code to dump a metastruct.Metastruct class back to JSON.
