ctx - A minimal but opinionated dict/object combo (like Bunch).

https://travis-ci.org/figlief/ctx.png?branch=master

Requirements

The ctx module should work with all versions of Python.

Features

The ctx module provides the Ctx class which is a subclass of the python 'dict' object.

Ctx modifies 'dict' in the following ways:

1 The dictionary items can be read or set using attribute access notation.

'ctx.a' is identical to 'ctx["a"]' and 'ctx.a = 5' is identical to 'ctx["a"] = 5'

2 The objects attributes can be read using item access notation.

'ctx["__doc__"]' is identical to 'ctx.__doc__'

3 The objects attributes can not be set under any circumstances.

4 The dictionary can not have a key with the same name as an objects attribute.

'ctx.name' and 'ctx["name"]' are resolved using the following three steps.

  1. if the object has an attribute 'name' then return the attribute.

b) if the dictionary has a key 'name' then return the value associated with the key.

  1. raise LookupError.

'ctx.name = 5' and 'ctx["name"] = 5'

  1. If name is an attribute of the class then raise AttributeError.
  2. set the dictionary item as usual.

Installation

You can install this package using pip with the following command.
