Description

Box is a Python dictionary subclass that provides dot notation access to its keys, while behaving like a standard dict in every other respect.

It supports conversion helpers for JSON, YAML, TOML and msgpack, along with frozen, default and transformation box types.

Install

As a binary package — by origin, or by package name:

pkg install devel/py-python-box
pkg install py312-python-box

cd /usr/ports/devel/py-python-box/ && make install clean

To depend on this port in another port's Makefile:
