KV - simple key/value store

===========================

.. image:: https://github.com/mgax/kv/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg?branch=master

KV provides a dictionary-like interface on top of SQLite. Keys can be

unicode strings, numbers or None. Values are stored as JSON.

::

    >>> from kv import KV

    >>> db = KV('/tmp/demo.kv')

    >>> db['hello'] = 'world'

    >>> db[42] = ['answer', 2, {'ultimate': 'question'}]

    >>> dict(db)

    {42: [u'answer', 2, {u'ultimate': u'question'}], u'hello': u'world'}

There is a locking facility that uses SQLite's transaction API::

    >>> with kv.lock():

    ...   l = db[42]

    ...   l += ['or is it?']

    ...   db[42] = l

And that's about it. The code_ is really simple.
