Forget about configparser, YAML, or JSON parsers. Focus on configuration.
Project description
Update on 2019-05-13: Version 1.35 and above require Python 3.6+.
Update on 2018-10-20: I no longer use this library. It tries to do too many things. It was written in Python 2.7 and made work with Python 3. With type hints, dataclasses, and many other cool features in Python 3.6+ you can express the same things in a much nicer way than this.
Don’t let standard library’s configparser drive your configuration value access design. Let it do what it does best – parse and write configuration files. And let configmanager do the rest.
Main Features
Every configuration item is an object with a type, a default value, a custom value and other metadata
No sections required
Any depth of sections allowed
INI (ConfigParser), JSON, YAML formats
click framework integration
Documentation
Source Code and Issue Tracking
Quick Start
Install from Python Package index with pip install configmanager.
Declare your configuration, the sources, and off you go. Remember, every configuration item is an object, not just a plain configuration value. If you don’t need the rich features of configuration items, use configmanager.PlainConfig instead.
