Jconf

A simple module to write, load and update JSON config files for your python3 projects.

Installation

jconf is packaged and distrubted with pip:

pip install jconf

Usage

Usage is designed to be simple and intuitive:

Create a config file:

>>>> import jconf
>>>> conf = jconf.Jconf('conf.json')
>>>> conf.somevar1 = True
>>>> conf.somevar2 = 3.14
>>>> conf.write()

Read and access variables from a config file:

>>>> conf = jconf.Jconf('conf.json')
>>>> conf.read()
>>>> conf.is_empty()
False
>>>> conf.keys()
['somevar1', 'somevar2']
>>>> conf.somevar1
True
>>>> conf.somevar2
3.14

Change a config files variables and save them:

>>>> conf.somevar1 = False
>>>> conf.somevar2 = 5.91
>>>> conf.write()

Load, change and save to a new file:

>>>> conf = jconf.Jconf('conf.json')
>>>> conf.read()
>>>> conf.somevar1 = True
>>>> conf.somevar2 = 3.14
>>>> conf.write('newconf.json')

Gotchas

If you use a number as the json key, jconf will return it with a preceding 'n' so that it can call the setattr method
