Hello everyone. I've been trying to find a good way to serialize objects, but there's always something missing in the micropython implementation.
My goal is a Setting class where:
- I can access parameters by name (not key lookup)
- I can serialize the parameters to JSON
Something that can do: object.param <--> dict['param']

I thought I could use namedtuples, but micropython doesn't do:

Code: Select all

namedtuple._asdict()

Then I thought of:

Code: Select all

settings_dict = {"param": 1}  # loaded from JSON

class Setting(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.param = None
        self.__dict__.update(settings_dict)

    def save(self):
        global settings_dict
        settings_dict = self.__dict__
        # save to json

But this doesn't work because __dict__.update doesn't do anything in micropython

Am I missing the obvious or is there no clean way of doing this?

Is this any use?

Code: Select all

settings_dict = {"param": 1, "bar":99}  # loaded from JSON

class Foo:
    def __init__(self):
        for k in settings_dict.keys():
            setattr(self, k, settings_dict[k])

foo = Foo()
foo.param
foo.bar

Yes! That works.
Thank you very much!
