Barrel

This library enables model-like encapsulation of big dict structure (like JSON data).

When I die I want to decompose in a barrel of porter and have it served in all the pubs in Dublin.

J. P. Donleavy

The goal is to not map the underlying dict but just wrap it in a programmer-friendly structure to allow attribute-like access and field aliasing.

Field aliasing enables to virtually:

change key names
modify the apparent structure of the dict

Installation

Nothing to fancy - clone the repo and run

python setup.py install

Or using pip:

pip install https://github.com/txtr/barrel/archive/master.zip

Requirements:

holon - library that provides an interface to communicate with the Reaktor.
blinker - events dispatching library.

python-money might become a requirement to simplify the amount \ currency handling. At the moment it is useless, because of the Reaktor inconsistency.

Usage

Please, refer to tests.

Running tests

python -m unittest discover barrel.tests
