Installation
============
For stable version
- pip install trace-dkey
For developement
- git clone https://github.com/Agent-Hellboy/trace-dkey
- cd trace-dkey
- python -m venv .venv
- source .venv/bin/activate
Example
=======
.. code:: py
>>> from trace_dkey import trace
>>> l={'a':{'b':{'c':{'d':{'e':{'f':1}}}}}}
>>> print(trace(l,'f'))
[['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f']]
Now you can query it as l['a']['b']['c']['d']['e']['f']
>>> l['a']['b']['c']['d']['e']['f']

General Info
============
- The value returned by the `trace` function is an array of paths, where each path is an array of dictionary keys.
- Because of that, the library can be used in a practical way by taking advantage of this format.
- In the example below we use the returned path to iterate over the dictionary keys and print the key value:
.. code:: py
from trace_dkey import trace
l={'a':{'b':{'c':{'d':{'e':{'f':1}}}}}}
paths = trace(l,'f')
for path in paths:
dic = l
for key in path:
dic = dic[key]
print(dic)
- This is addressing a wide range of question asked on stackoverflow about key inside a nested dict
- Atleast 13 duplicate questions can be found on stackoverflow
- This can be tracked on https://you.com/search?q=find%20key%20in%20nested%20dictionary%20python
| Someone made a nice comparision of this lib(trace-dkey) with one of the famous lib(yamlpath) which is doing the similar thing
