Hello,
-
I was trying to convert this python dictionnary
my_dict = {
"apps": {
"test": {
"whatever_1": {
"date": "2025-12-16",
},
"whatever_2": {
"date": "2025-12-16",
},
},
},
}
...to this TOML output:
[apps]
[apps.test]
[apps.test.whatever_1]
date = "2025-12-16"
[apps.test.whatever_2]
date = "2025-12-16"
-
I first had great hopes with:
print(tomlkit.dumps(my_dict))
but that outputs
[apps.test.whatever_1]
date = "2025-12-16"
[apps.test.whatever_2]
date = "2025-12-16"
-
With a bit of pain, I eventually manage to get the expected output using:
my_dict_new = tomlkit.document()
for category_name, apps in my_dict.items():
cat = tomlkit.table(False)
for app_name, app_reports in apps.items():
app = tomlkit.table(False).indent(4)
for report_name, report_data in app_reports.items():
rep = tomlkit.table(False).indent(4)
for key, val in report_data.items():
rep.add(key, val).indent(4)
app.append(report_name, rep)
cat.append(app_name, app)
my_dict_new.append(category_name, cat)
print(tomlkit.dumps(my_dict_new))
As this the reverse scenario from #47 and #107 in which the target output here seemed to be the default .dumps() output at the time, I wonder whether there would be a quicker way to access the old behavior again (i.e. dump headers for parent nested headers) ?
