# pytoml
This project aims at being a specs-conforming and strict parser and writer for [TOML][1] files.
The library currently supports [version 0.4.0][2] of the specs and runs with Python 2.6+ and 3.3+.
Install:
pip install pytoml
The interface is the same as for the standard `json` package.
>>> import pytoml as toml
>>> toml.loads('a = 1')
{'a': 1}
>>> with open('file.toml', 'rb') as fin:
... obj = toml.load(fin)
>>> obj
{'a': 1}
The `loads` function accepts either a bytes object
(that gets decoded as UTF-8 with no BOM allowed),
or a unicode object.
Use `dump` or `dumps` to serialize a dict into TOML.
>>> print toml.dumps(obj)
a = 1
## tests
To run the tests update the `toml-test` submodule:
$ git submodule update --init --recursive
Then run the tests:
$ python test/test.py
