Python Options

The configuration options for Python are listed below.

Collection Type​

Choose whether the outer container is generated as:

  • List [ ]
  • Tuple ( )

Assign to Variable​

When enabled, output is assigned to a variable.

For example:

data = [
    {"name": "Monica"}
]

Variable Name​

Set the name used when Assign to Variable is enabled.

For example, using records:

records = [
    {"name": "Monica"}
]

Quote Numbers​

When enabled, numeric-looking values are emitted as quoted strings.

When disabled, numeric-looking values are emitted as numeric literals.

Use Decimal Type​

When enabled, decimal-looking values can be emitted as Decimal("12.34").

If Decimal values are used, AnyWayData will include:

from decimal import Decimal

Decimal Columns (CSV)​

Use a comma-separated list of column names to control which columns are treated as Decimal candidates.

For example:

Money, Column 2

If left blank, Decimal conversion applies to all eligible columns.

Treat Integers As Decimal​

When enabled, integer-looking values in Decimal-scoped columns are also emitted as Decimal(...).

For example:

Decimal("5")

Blank Values​

Choose how blank values are exported:

  • Empty String
  • None

Quote Style​

Choose whether strings and dictionary keys use:

  • Double Quotes
  • Single Quotes

Pretty Print​

Controls whether output is formatted across multiple lines with indentation.

When disabled, output is compact (minified style).

Delimiter​

Controls indentation when Pretty Print is enabled.

Python supports:

  • Tab [\t]
  • Space [ ]
  • Custom Value

Custom Delimiter​

Set a custom indentation value used for pretty print.

For Python, indentation must be whitespace. Non-whitespace values automatically fall back to safe spaces.

Include Imports​

When enabled, import statements are included at the top of the output.

Import Statements​

Provide import statements, one per line.

For example:

from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import List

Anonymous Dicts​

When enabled, each row is output as a plain dictionary.

When disabled, each row is output as an instance of a class.

Class Name​

Used when Anonymous Dicts is disabled to set the class name for generated row instances.
