04.02 / Schema Ergonomics

SchemaBind

SchemaBind is a focused Python package for turning existing dictionary fields into readable attribute access.

It came from working with CSV rows and wanting less repetitive lookup code. The library keeps the scope deliberately small: bind a dict, read fields as attributes, preserve normal dictionary helpers, and fail clearly when a field name is missing or ambiguous.

Use

Before

first = row["First Name"]

email = row.get("Email Address")

After

customer = bind(row)

customer.first_name

customer.email_address

What It Does

Bind Dicts

Wraps mapping-style row data without changing the original keys.

Normalize Names

First Name becomes first_name for access.

Catch Ambiguity

Duplicate normalized names raise errors instead of guessing.
