Stability and reliability update.

In summary:

• Documentation corrections.
• Behaves more consistently and reliably.
• Plays nicely with file-like objects (e.g. io module).
• A few fixes, code tweaks, and added comments for clarity.
• Passes all tests with flying rainbows!

Facelift and new features.

Among several bug fixes, this update introduces:

• New feature! JSON to MAL conversion:
  • Command-line: -r or --reverse
  • API: dump_mal(out="filename")
• Improved handling of associations with the same name.
• Flexibility with repeating asset expressions, i.e. using -> multiple times will not overwrite values unless variable names are explicitly re-defined.
• Associations are now expressed in JSON as an array of objects instead of an object of objects.
• Additional -h and --help command-line arguments.
• Clearer command-line help.
• Documentation corrections.

Polished code and widened MAL support

A minor update to polish the code and documentation and to:

• Add support for enterpriseLang's old asset declaration syntax.
  • Note: demal only supports the latest MAL version; use this official script to convert from old spec to new spec.
• Allow for more leniency with spaces.
• Adjust some code for readability.

Published to PyPI

Published this project to the Python Package Index and adjusted GitHub Actions.

One small functional change: added -v and --version flags to the command-line tool.

Python module and CLI tool improvements

Among other things, the focus of this update was to:

• Greatly enhance the installation experience with pip (soon on PyPI)
• Tweak how MalParser objects are treated in arithmetic operations
• Better handle command line arguments
• Improve terminal recognition for printing colored (coloured) usage
• Fix issues related to stdin and stdout when used as a standalone tool
• Adjust documentation to reflect real-world installation and usage
