FlatDict

FlatDict and FlatterDict are a dict classes that allows for single level,
delimited key/value pair mapping of nested dictionaries. You can interact with
FlatDict and FlatterDict like a normal dictionary and access child
dictionaries as you normally would or with the composite key.

For example:

.. code-block:: python

value = flatdict.FlatDict({'foo': {'bar': 'baz', 'qux': 'corge'}})

would be the same as:

.. code-block:: python

value == {'foo:bar': 'baz', 'foo:qux': 'corge'}

values can be accessed as:

.. code-block:: python

print(foo['foo:bar'])

# or

print(foo['foo']['bar'])

Additionally, lists and tuples are also converted into dicts using enumerate(),
using the FlatterDict class.

For example:

.. code-block:: python

value = flatdict.FlatterDict({'list': ['a', 'b', 'c']})

will be the same as:

.. code-block:: python

value == {'list:0': 'a', 'list:1': 'b', 'list:2': 'c'}
