RoDict

A python package for accessing internal keys of a dictionary easily. RoDict internally stores the data as a dictionary.

Any internal keys of a dictionary by using a key by separating the nested keys using a separator. Default separator is __ (two underscores).

For example consider the following dictionary:

data = {
	'a' : {
		'b': {
			'c': 10
		}
	}
}

Accessing value of key 'c' in the above dictionary:

Without RoDict

>>> data = data['a']
>>> data = data['b']
>>> data = data['c']
>>> print data

With RoDict

>>> from rodict import RoDict
>>> r = RoDict(store=data)
>>> print r['a__b__c']

Not only for getting values, setting values for a key in dict can be done using the same syntax.

Where can it be used:

Right now I'm using this package for maintaining/updating configuration files in json where values need to be dynamically updating during runtime.
