Have you ever been kept awake at night, desperately feeling a burning desire to do nothing else but directly import JSON files as if they were python modules [#]_? Now you can!
This abomination allows you to write
.. code:: python
import some_json_file
and if some_json_file.json
can be found, it will be available as if it is a
python module.
Slap a json file somewhere on your python path. tester.json
:
.. code:: json
{
"hello": "world",
"this": {
"can": {
"be": "nested"
}
}
}
Now import jsonsempai and your json file!
.. code:: python
>>> from jsonsempai import magic
>>> import tester
>>> tester
<module 'tester' from 'tester.json'>
>>> tester.hello
u'world'
>>> tester.this.can.be
u'nested'
>>>
Alternatively, a context manager may be used (100% less magic):
.. code:: python
>>> import jsonsempai
>>> with jsonsempai.imports():
... import tester
>>> tester
<module 'tester' from 'tester.json'>
Python packages are also supported:
.. code:: bash
$ tree
.
└── python_package
├── file.json
├── __init__.py
└── nested_package
├── __init__.py
└── second.json
.. code:: python
>>> from jsonsempai import magic
>>> from python_package import file
>>> file
<module 'python_package.file' from 'python_package/file.json'>
>>> import python_package.nested_package.second
>>> python_package.nested_package.second
<module 'python_package.nested_package.second' from 'python_package/nested_package/second.json'>
Install from pip:
.. code:: bash
$ pip install json-sempai
or clone this repo and install from source:
.. code:: bash
