slongfield / pyfmt Goto Github PK

Hey good job, this looks great.

I've been playing with the getElement function, Not sure if this is even a bug but I wanted your comments.

What I'm trying to do is access foo.bar.someStruct.someProp, usually from a slice of structs but for today from a map[string]interface{}.

I cant access anything with & somestruct{...}, with no ampersend its fine

type b struct {
Bazzer int
Bazzle []int
}

func main() {
a := map[string]interface{} {
	"bar"   : map[string]interface{} {
			"baz": &b{0,[]int{1,2,3}},
			"buzz": []int{1,2,3} },
	"baz"   : []int{1,2,3},
	"bazzle": []string{"1","2","3"} }

b,err := getElement("bar.baz.Bazzle[0]",0,a)
fmt.Println(b,err)
}

Expected output: one of the struct members,
Actual output: attempted to get item by name in non-struct, non-map
If I drop the & before the struct &b {...} it works fine.

thoughts?

sorry if not a bug, I noticed this while I was just giving a quick evaluation of whether the software if it will work for my purposes. Cheers it looks great.

Hi @slongfield

We are considering using pyfmt with gpython to add .format support. Is this something you'd be interested in helping support or at least bless? Your efforts and support would be welcome but the ask would be for you to consider merging any minor PRs to pyfmt that make good sense. I think pyfmt is perfect for gpython!

Best,
Drew
