ShortIO

ShortIO library is intended to avoid context manager boilerplate in simple io operations. The library supports plain text, JSON, pickle and YAML (PyYAML impl).

Inspired by ilio.

Installation

pip install shortio

Usage

Plain text read & write:

from shortio import read, write

s = read('filename')
write('filename', s)

Binary data read & write:

from shortio import read, write

s = read('filename', 'rb')
write('filename', s, 'wb')

JSON data read & write:

from shortio import read_json, write_json

d = read_json('filename.json')
write_json('filename.json', d)

Pickle data read & write:

from shortio import read_pickle, write_pickle

d = read_pickle('filename.pkl')
write_pickle('filename.pkl', d)

YAML data read & write:

Since python does not support YAML out of the box you have to install PyYAML.

pip install PyYAML>=5.1

from shortio import read_yaml, write_yaml

d = read_yaml('filename.yaml')
write_yaml('filename.yaml', d)
