DotWiz

✓ from dotwiz import DotWiz

No common wrong import; use from dotwiz import DotWiz

Basic usage: create a DotWiz instance and access nested keys with dot notation.

from dotwiz import DotWiz # Create a DotWiz object d = DotWiz({'name': 'John', 'info': {'age': 30, 'city': 'NYC'}}) # Access nested keys via dot notation print(d.name) # John print(d.info.age) # 30 # Assign values d.info.city = 'Boston' print(d) # {'name': 'John', 'info': {'age': 30, 'city': 'Boston'}}

Debug

Known issues

gotchaDotWiz does not convert nested dicts passed after creation. Only nested dicts at initialization are converted. Assigning a plain dict to a key after creation will not be automatically wrapped.

fix

Manually wrap nested dicts: d.key = DotWiz({'subkey': 'value'})

affects: all

gotchaDotWiz is not a full replacement for dict. Methods like .items(), .keys() work, but some dict methods (e.g., .copy()) return a plain dict, not a DotWiz.

fix

If you need deep copy preserving DotWiz, use copy.deepcopy or wrap explicitly.

affects: all

deprecatedThe module does not explicitly deprecate any features, but be aware that version 0.4.0 may have limited future updates.

fix

Monitor the repository for any changes.

affects: 0.4.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'subkey'

A nested dict was not converted to DotWiz because it was assigned after initialization.

fix

Use d.key = DotWiz({'subkey': value}) instead of d.key = {'subkey': value}

TypeError: 'DotWiz' object is not callable

Trying to call dotwiz as a function instead of importing the class.

fix

Import the class: from dotwiz import DotWiz

KeyError: 'key'

Trying to access a key that doesn't exist using bracket notation when attribute access would raise AttributeError.

fix

Check key exists with 'key' in d or use .get() method.
