flatdata-py

Read-only Python 3 implementation of flatdata.

Basic usage

Once you have created a flatdata schema file, you can generate a Python module to read your existing flatdata archive:

flatdata-generator --gen python --schema locations.flatdata --output-file locations.py

Using the inspector

flatdata-py comes with a handy tool called the flatdata-inspector to inspect the contents of an archive:

• from the flatdata-py source directory:

./inspector.py
# or
python3 -m flatdata.lib.inspector

• if you want to install flatdata-py:

pip3 install flatdata-py[inspector]  # the inspector feature requires IPython
flatdata-inspector -p /path/to/my/flatdata.archive
