cbowns / api_keys.rb
Created February 21, 2012 22:54
A script for Xcode 4.x to use API keys stored in ~/.api_keys and insert them into your app bundle’s Info.plist (instead of committing them to a repository)
# An API keys script written by Patrick Gibson (@patr1ck) and Christopher Bowns (@cbowns)
# This script sets API keys in your app's Info.plist from an .api_keys file you keep in your home directory (~/.api_keys)
# This allows you to not check API keys into your source control system,
# or for different developers to use different keys without needing to patch their working copies.
# Installation directions:
=begin
1. Create a Run Script build phase in your Xcode project before Compile Sources
2. Copy and paste this whole script in.
3. Create or modify your .api_keys file to hold your API keys

One-line Tree in Python

Using Python's built-in defaultdict we can easily define a tree data structure:

def tree(): return defaultdict(tree)

That's it!

"""{escher} -- one-file key-value storage.
What?
This is a toy application to manage persistent key-value string data.
The file {escher} is *both* the application and its data.
When you run any of the commands below, the file will be executed and,
after data change, it will rewrite itself with updated data.
You can copy the file with whatever name to create multiple datasets.
