The Python Dict that's better than heroin.

addict with change tracker

A modified addict to track changes to values of fields in addict.

Caution:Note: Not all tests are passing

Usage:

mydict = Dict()

mydict.a.b.c = 15

for _ in mydict.get_changed_history():
    print(_) 

The output

.a.b.c

Use clear_changed_history to clear all changed history.

mydict.clear_changed_history()
for _ in mydict.get_changed_history():
    print(_)

outputs empty.

Key Points

1. Only tracks changes in values. Field additions and deletions are not being tracked.
2. Every field keeps a __tracker variable to keep track of all its members that have changed.

TODO

1. History not valid after pickle.load
2. building dict from another dict following expression wont' work

cjs_cfg = Dict(x, track_changes=True)

instead use

cjs_cfg = Dict(track_changes = True)
with open("cjs_cfg.pickle", "rb") as fh:
    x = pickle.load(fh)
for _ in oj.dictWalker(x):
    oj.dnew(cjs_cfg, _[0], _[1])
