Initialize a namelist from a dictionary

[rfkspada]

Thanks for this work.

Is there a way to start a namelist from a python dictionary?

Yes in most cases Namelist(d) will convert a dict d into a Namelist.

There might be some problematic edge cases, but I would give that a try.

For more explicit instructions:

>>> from f90nml import Namelist
>>> d = {'grp': {'a': 1, 'b': 2}}
>>> nml = Namelist(d)
>>> print(nml)
&grp
    a = 1
    b = 2
/
