Quick intro

SoonerDB has a dict-like API.

Showtime:

In [1]: from soonerdb import SoonerDB

In [2]: db = SoonerDB('./tmp')

In [3]: db["my key"] = "A value"

In [4]: db["my key"]
Out[4]: 'A value'

In [5]: "my key" in db
Out[5]: True

In [6]: "other key" in db
Out[6]: False

In [7]: db["other key"]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
KeyError                                  Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-7-bc114493f395> in <module>
----> 1 db["other key"]
KeyError: "Key 'other key' not found."

In [8]: db.get("other key", "default value")
Out[8]: 'default value'

In [9]: db.set("another", "value")

In [10]: list(db)
Out[10]: [('another', 'value'), ('my key', 'A value')]
