There's no built-in properties parser in the Python standard library. We can download a properties file parser from the Python Package Index (https://pypi.python.org/pypi). However, it's not a very complex class, and it's a good exercise in advanced object-oriented programming.
We'll break the class down into the top-level API functions and the lower-level parsing functions. Here are some of the overall API methods:
import reclass PropertyParser: def read_string(self, data: str) -> Iterator[Tuple[str, str]]: return self._parse(data) def read_file(self, file: IO[str]) -> Iterator[Tuple[str, str]]: data = file.read() return self.read_string(data) def read(self, path: Path) -> Iterator[Tuple[str, str]]: with path.open( ...
