I wish jq could be used in Python. It would be so nice. Imagine writing a simple jq string and running that, rather than writing complicated loops for examining json data. It does exist as a library for Python, but unfortunately it links to jq’s C library. That means if I use it, then whoever uses my program has to compile C code whenever they pip install my program. I’m unwilling to do that, because history shows that as t approaches infinity, the chance of C code failing to compile during a pip install approaches 100%. If anyone’s looking for a challenge, please implement all of jq’s logic in pure Python. It would be so wonderful…
