Release Announcement: Duck 0.1, a ‘simple data’ and JSON Verifier, written in Python.

As a Boxing Day present to myself, I have released version 0.1 of Duck, a ‘simple data’ and JSON verifier. Extending the metaphor of duck typing, I often find it useful to see if a ‘simple data’ structure (one made of dicts, lists, ints, floats, strings, booleans and the like) is ‘close enough’ to what I need to be useful.

Use cases:

1. checking json (using duck.jsonduck)
2. simple guards on kwargs, or particular function arguments

I could also use help with it, since I have done a public release of anything packaged in a long time! I could use advice on:

Housekeeping:
————————-

• pypi / pip setup?
• license?
• where the code should *really* live
• integrating test stuff into setup.py

Look and Feel:
—————————

• does what I am doing even make sense?
• is it *too magical*
