print(ns.key)Output:
valAdding/modifying keys and values to the Namespace
from spacename import Namespace
ns = Namespace(spam="fizz", bacon="buzz")
ns.spam = "foo" # Changing existing value
ns.eggs = "bar" # Creating a key-value pair
del ns.bacon # Deleting a key-value pair
print(ns)Output:
Namespace(spam="foo", eggs="bar")Converting to dict
from spacename import Namespace
ns = Namespace(spam="foo", eggs="bar", bacon="baz")
print(dict(ns))
# OR
print(ns.to_dict())Output:
{'spam': 'foo', 'eggs': 'bar', 'bacon': 'baz'}Converting to list
from spacename import Namespace
ns = Namespace(spam="foo", eggs="bar", bacon="baz")
print(list(ns))Output:
[('spam', 'foo'), ('eggs', 'bar'), ('bacon', 'baz')]Iterating through a Namespace
from spacename import Namespace
ns = Namespace(spam="foo", eggs="bar", bacon="baz")
for k, v in ns:
print(f"{k}=\"{v}\"")Output:
spam="foo"
eggs="bar"
bacon="baz"Comparing Namespaces with other Namespaces
from spacename import Namespace
ns1 = Namespace(spam="foo", eggs="bar", bacon="baz")
ns2 = Namespace(foo="spam", bar="eggs", baz="bacon")
print(ns1 == ns2)Output:
FalseChecking that a Namespace contains a key
from spacename import Namespace
ns = Namespace(spam="foo", eggs="bar", bacon="baz")
print("spam" in ns)Output:
