A very simple python library for parsing XResources.

import xrp
result = xrp.parse_file('.Xresources')
result.resources['*foreground'] == '#FFFFFF'
result.resources.x_statement('*foreground').value == 'white'
result.definitions['white'] == '#FFFFFF'

Install stable versions from PyPi

pip install xparser

and development versions by cloning

git clone https://github.com/taesko/xparser.git
cd xparser && pip install .

The two main entry points to the API are the parse and parse_file functions in the xrp package

They both return an xrp.views.XFileView object, which has resources and definitions attributes with dict-like interface for accessing the parsed data.

No designated docs are written yet (but are planned to be) - use help() on the xrp.views.XFileView object for more information on usage.
