Have you ever been kept awake at night, desperately feeling a burning desire to

do nothing else but directly import JSON files as if they were python modules

[#]_? Now you can!

This abomination allows you to write

.. code:: python

     import some_json_file

and if ``some_json_file.json`` can be found, it will be available as if it is a

python module.

Usage

-----

Slap a json file somewhere on your python path. ``tester.json``:

.. code:: json

    {

        "hello": "world",

        "this": {

            "can": {

                "be": "nested"

            }

        }

    }

Now import jsonsempai and your json file!

.. code:: python

    >>> from jsonsempai import magic

    >>> import tester

    >>> tester

    

    >>> tester.hello

    u'world'

    >>> tester.this.can.be

    u'nested'

    >>>

Alternatively, a context manager may be used (100% less magic):

.. code:: python

    >>> import jsonsempai

    >>> with jsonsempai.imports():

    ...     import tester

    >>> tester

    

Python packages are also supported:

.. code:: bash

    $ tree

    .

    └── python_package

        ├── file.json

        ├── __init__.py

        └── nested_package

            ├── __init__.py

            └── second.json

.. code:: python

    >>> from jsonsempai import magic

    >>> from python_package import file

    >>> file

    

    >>> import python_package.nested_package.second

    >>> python_package.nested_package.second
