pipingdictate

pipingdictate is a Python library designed to facilitate the creation and manipulation of data structures that resemble nested dictionaries. It offers a more fluid and intuitive way to access and modify deeply nested values without the need for explicit checks at each level of nesting. The library's core functionality revolves around its `PipeDict` class, which acts as a wrapper for standard Python dictionaries.

When you create a `PipeDict`, you can access or assign values to non-existent keys, and the library will automatically create the necessary intermediate dictionary structures. For example, attempting to access `my_piped_dict['a']['b']['c']` will not raise a `KeyError` if 'a' or 'b' do not exist; instead, `PipeDict` will create them. This behavior simplifies code that deals with dynamic or deeply nested data, such as configuration files or API responses.

The library supports various ways to interact with the `PipeDict`, including standard dictionary access using square brackets (`[]`) and method calls. It also provides mechanisms for handling default values and converting nested `PipeDict` objects back to standard Python dictionaries. pipingdictate aims to reduce boilerplate code associated with nested dictionary operations, making Python code more readable and efficient in such scenarios.
