This announcement is for a pre-release that I would like people to
comment on structure, naming, etc. (Code review maybe not yet. :-)
Before you say "It's all been done before." I suggest you take a closer
look and I think you may conclude that what I've revised over 7 years is
now interesting.

Thesaurus is a mapping data type with key recursion and attribute
aliasing. It is a subclass of dict() and compatible as a dictionary
replacement baring where key path recursion may take place.
ThesaurusExtended is a subclass of Thesaurus providing additional
usability methods.
ThesaurusCfg is a subclass of ThesaurusExtended providing a
configuration file parser and per key data coercion methods.
The Thesaurus family works with Python 2.6+ to 3.8+.
A simple example of ThesaurusCfg
--
cfgs = '''
prog.version(static_int) = 123
opt.verbose (str_to_bool) = yes
hi = Hello
'''
from thesauruscfg import thescfg
cfg = thescfg()
>>> cfg.parse(cfgs)
{'prog': {'version': 123}, 'opt': {'verbose': True}, 'hi': 'Hello'}
>>> cfg.opt.verbose
True
import json
>>> print(json.dumps(cfg, indent=4, separators=(',', ': ')))
{
"prog": {
"version": 123
},
"opt": {
"verbose": true
},
"hi": "Hello"
}
