javaproperties — Read & write Java .properties files in Python

javaproperties provides support for reading & writing Java .properties files (both the simple line-oriented format and XML) with a simple API based on the json module — though, for recovering Java addicts, it also includes a Properties class intended to match the behavior of Java 8’s java.net.Properties as much as is Pythonically possible.

Previous versions of javaproperties included command-line programs for basic manipulation of .properties files. As of version 0.4.0, these programs have been split off into a separate package, javaproperties-cli.
