Does this package read tf files?

It looks like from the docs that this is mostly python to terraform, if that's not the case, can you point me to some docs or examples of going from terraform to python object?

from terraform to python object

@ahonnecke I realize your question is about 4 months stale at this point, but can you share a bit about the use case for that? Are you trying to convert existing hcl to terraformpy so it can be used alongside terraformpy code you've got or are writing?

Either way, I'd recommend looking at more popular projects that allow managing infrastructure as code using python like Pulumi (https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi) and Terraform CDK (https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-cdk).

The use case would be:
Read in HCL
Find and Edit a configuration item.
Write HCL

Just writing TF is cool...but if we can read it in and do something with it, that would be excellent.
