Quick Guide

To install jicparameters:

git clone https://github.com/JIC-CSB/jicparameters.git
cd jicparameters
python setup.py install

Create some parameters:

>>> from jicparameters import Parameters
>>> params = Parameters(pi=3.14, radius=10)
>>> params
{'pi': 3.14, 'radius': 10}

Add another parameter:

>>> params["fudge_factor"] = 42
>>> params
{'fudge_factor': 42, 'pi': 3.14, 'radius': 10}

View as YAML:

>>> print(params.to_yaml())
---
fudge_factor: 42
pi: 3.14
radius: 10

Save to file:

>>> params.to_file("params.yml")

Read from file:

>>> p2 = Parameters.from_file("params.yml")
>>> assert params == p2
