Make lief.DictStringVersion a MutableMapping about lief HOT 5 CLOSED

Could you be more precise about the API you would like ?

from lief.

I'd like to be able to do things like that:

for key, value in pe.resources_manager.version.string_file_info.langcode_items[0].items():
    print(key, value)

But in general, having such APIs for everything that looks like a dictionary in the whole project would be great.

Well actually the underlying C++ container is a std::map: include/LIEF/PE/resources/LangCodeItem.hpp#L96 and the translation to Python (thanks to pybind11) is performed with a dict like. The conversion to collections.abc.MutableMapping is not trivial

But you can iterate over the items property as follow:

for k, v in pe.resources_manager.version.string_file_info.langcode_items[0].items.items():
    print(k, v)

Hmmm, yeah, I get the problem.
The list of tuples if fine for me to get the data out, but if you want to edit it at some point, it will be tricky.

FYI, I create my dict this way:
dict(pe.resources_manager.version.string_file_info.langcode_items[0].items)
