fairyfly.dictutil module

Utilities to convert any dictionary to Python objects.

Note that importing this module will import almost all modules within the library in order to be able to re-serialize almost any dictionary produced from the library.

Re-serialize a dictionary of almost any object within fairyfly.

This includes any Model, Shape or Boundary object.

Parameters:

  • fairyfly_dict – A dictionary of any Fairyfly object. Note that this should be a non-abridged dictionary to be valid.

Returns:

A Python object derived from the input fairyfly_dict.
