README

        
Easy two-way conversion between Python dictionaries and fixed-width files.

The FixedWidth class has been used in production without modification for 

several years.

This module has also proven useful for "debugging" a fixed-width spec --

an invalid configuration reports an error that may not be obvious from

reading the spec document.

Requires a 'config' dictonary. See unit tests for full example.

Small example

    SAMPLE_CONFIG = {

        'first_name': {

            'required': True,

            'type': 'string',

            'start_pos': 1,

            'end_pos': 10,

            'alignment': 'left',

            'padding': ' '

        },

        'last_name': {

            'required': True,

            'type': 'string',

            'start_pos': 11,

            'end_pos': 30,

            'alignment': 'left',

            'padding': ' '

        },

        'date': {

            'required': True,

            'type': 'date',

            'start_pos': 31,

            'end_pos': 38,

            'alignment': 'left',

            'format': '%Y%m%d',

            'padding': ' '

        },

        'decimal': {

            'required': True,

            'type': 'decimal',

            'precision': 2,

            'rounding': decimal.ROUND_UP,

            'start_pos': 38,

            'end_pos': 42,

            'alignment': 'left',

            'padding': ' '

        },

    }

Notes:

* A field must have a start_pos and either an end_pos or a length. If both an end_pos and a length are provided, they must not conflict.

* A field may not have a default value if it is required.

* Supported types are string, integer, and decimal.

* Alignment and padding are required.
