d2animdata, a Python script for editing AnimData.D2

[mmpx222]

I wrote a small Python script named d2animdata. It decompiles AnimData.D2 to tabbed text (TXT) and back. It is available on PyPI, so you can install it using

Code: Select all

pip install d2animdata

like any other Python package.

It is similar to Paul Siramy's animdata_edit, but offers some additional features:

• d2animdata will perform strict checks on AnimData.D2 and catch possible errors early.
• Can also decompile to JSON and back. JSON is more suited for a text editor, and produces better Git diff logs.
• Sorting entries is optional (via the --sort option)
• It is also a library, so you can import d2animdata in your own Python script to programmatically edit AnimData.D2.
• Cross-platform

d2animdata requires Python 3.6 or above.

Note: I'm thinking of adding support for more human-friendly formats (e.g. JSON5, YAML, TOML). Not sure if it's worth it.

Feedback is welcome!
