FixedWidth 1.3
Two-way fixed-width <--> Python dict converter.
License: BSD
Keywords: fixed width

Easy two-way conversion between Python dictionaries and fixed-width files.
The FixedWidth class has been used in production without modification for 
several years.

This module has also proven useful for "debugging" a fixed-width spec --
an invalid configuration reports an error that may not be obvious from
reading the spec document.

Requires a 'config' dictonary. See unit tests for full example.

Small example

    SAMPLE_CONFIG = {

        'first_name': {
            'required': True,
            'type': 'string',
            'start_pos': 1,
            'end_pos': 10,
            'alignment': 'left',
            'padding': ' '
        },

        'last_name': {
            'required': True,
            'type': 'string',
            'start_pos': 11,
            'end_pos': 30,
            'alignment': 'left',
            'padding': ' '
        },

        'date': {
            'required': True,
            'type': 'date',
            'start_pos': 31,
            'end_pos': 38,
            'alignment': 'left',
            'format': '%Y%m%d',
            'padding': ' '
        },

        'decimal': {
            'required': True,
            'type': 'decimal',
            'precision': 2,
            'rounding': decimal.ROUND_UP,
            'start_pos': 38,
            'end_pos': 42,
            'alignment': 'left',
            'padding': ' '
        },

    }

Notes:

* A field must have a start_pos and either an end_pos or a length. If both an end_pos and a length are provided, they must not conflict.

* A field may not have a default value if it is required.

* Supported types are string, integer, and decimal.

* Alignment and padding are required.
