* Package name : typedload Version : 0.9 Upstream Author : Salvo 'LtWorf' Tomaselli <tipos...@tiscali.it> * URL : https://github.com/ltworf/typedload#typedload * License : GPL Programming Lang: Python Description : Python3 module to load and dump data into typed structures This module provides an API to load dictionaries and list (usually loaded from json) into Python's NamedTuples, sets, enums, and various other typed data structures. . It also allows one to dump them from typed data structures to json-like dictionaries and lists. . This allows all the code that uses external data to have the advantages of using types, and causes all errors with the data to be noticed when it is loaded, rather than when it is used. - why is this package useful/relevant? I found some people on stack overflow and similar, trying to obtain this, and implementing hacky solutions that only support very very simple types. This library supports quite a few combinations of types. - is it a dependency for another package? Not for now, it's quite new - do you use it? yes - if there are other packages providing similar functionality, how does it compare? Not that I know of. - how do you plan to maintain it? Github, for both packaging and upstream code. Anyone interested in co-maintaining can ask me to give write rights (after sending some good patches, normally) -- Salvo Tomaselli "Io non mi sento obbligato a credere che lo stesso Dio che ci ha dotato di senso, ragione ed intelletto intendesse che noi ne facessimo a meno." -- Galileo Galilei http://ltworf.github.io/ltworf/
