airtable can not interpret Collections.OrderedDict about airtable.py HOT 5 CLOSED

I second this. It's a hassle to deal with OrderedDicts.

from airtable.py.

The library tries to keep as much info as possible from the API answer, including the order of the fields.

I'll provide an easy way to return dicts (and nested dicts) instead of an OrderedDicts.

from airtable.py.

Note that I'm not sure whether the order of the fields in a view are actually returned in their right order in the API but that could be important to be kept.

from airtable.py.

How about to offer config option to use dictionaries only?

It it really pain to convert nested OrderedDicts.

from airtable.py.

Aha, that option is there. :-)

Init it like this:

airtable.Airtable(
    environ.get("AIRTABLE_BASE"),
    environ.get("AIRTABLE_API_KEY"),
    dict_class=dict
  )

from airtable.py.
