# dictabase
A dictionary, but also a "database".
## Usage
### Starting the server
[user@host]$ python dictabase.py
### Using the dict that isn't a dict *(and also not recommended to any sane person)*:
Here's a short example of how you would load the top level item called `players` from the *"databas"*.
Everything stored in the *database* is virtually a dictionary, and choosing a top level item from it is required.
```python
from dictabase import dictabase as dict
# Loads the "players" first level from the stash
players = dict("players")
players["New Player"]["url"] = "http://homepage/avatar.png"
print(players)
```
If it isn't obvious, overriding `dict` is a pretty stupid idea.
You should also consider something like [MongoDB](https://github.com/mongodb/mongo) which is pretty stable and reliable. It also returns dict-ish types of results.
## Final note
```python
## Duck typing
# "If it walks like a duck,
# and it quacks like a duck,
# then it must be a duck"
```
