What I would like is for those 'nan' strings to be just a '-' or
something similar.
Obviously I can write conditional code to check for float('nan')
values but is there a neater way with any sort of formatting string or
other sort of cleverness?

what I need. The Python json package is very simple
to use and with an 'indent=' setting the resulting json is reasonably
human readable which is all I need.
Thus programs simply read the values from the json file into a
dictionary of dictionaries and the 'updater of values' program can
write them back after changes.

Surely it's not that bad, the vast bulk of Debian, Ubuntu and other

given a particular package's requirements. Python is surely not
unique in its dependency requirements.

There is only one way to know that a string is a valid email address,
