jdp / jarg Goto Github PK

jarg should support files as values. I think it could use cURL's syntax:

$ jarg file=@/path/to/file

In the JSON dialect, it should conform to example 9 of the HTML JSON forms draft. In the form dialect, should it conform to multipart?

Right now jarg builds from an empty context. It should be able to take context from standard input:

$ echo '{"a": 1, "b": 2}' | jarg c=3
{"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3}

I'm trying to run jarg on crontab, simple by doing this:

jarg foo=bar

but I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/jarg", line 9, in

File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 384, in raw_decode
raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded")
ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

I've placed all my env variables on crontab.

Any thoughts on how to solve it?

Thanks

The default form encoding from urllib.urlencode doesn't support multi-dimensional values. That behavior can be taken from the multidimensional-urlencode package:

>>> import urllib
>>> from multidimensional_urlencode import urlencode
>>> e = urlencode({"a": {"b": {"c": [1, 2, 3], "d": "e"}}})
>>> urllib.unquote(e)
'a[b][d]=e&a[b][c]=1&a[b][c]=2&a[b][c]=3'

Should it be part of the default form dialect, or should there be a separate dialect for multidimensional values?
