## <a name=”config”></a>Config

Supports argparse-like configuration options with support for the following configuration methods: - command-line arguments - environment variables - keychain (OSX) and keyring (Linux) - ini/config files

## <a name=”logging”></a>Logging (simpl.log)

Encapsulates logging boilerplate code to initialize logging using the [config](#config) module.

## <a name=”secrets”></a>Sensitive Value Helpers

Helpers for managing sensitive values.

## <a name=”python”></a>Python Utilities

Middleware included: - CORS: handles CORS requests - Context: handles setting a threadlocal context and adds a transaction ID.

## <a name=”rest”></a>REST API Tooling

Helper code for handling RESTful APIs using bottle.

Code included: - body: a decorator that parses a call body and passes it to a route as an argument. The decorator can apply a schema (any callable including a voluptuous.Schema), return a default, and enforce that a body is required. - paginated: a decorator that returns paginated data with correct limit/offset validation and HTTP responses. - process_params: parses query parameters from bottle request

## <a name=”chronos”></a>Date/Time Utilites

Provides functions that consistently format date/time and timestamp data for use in APIs.

## <a name=”mongo”></a>MongoDB Backend Wrapper

Implements an opinionated wrapper for MongoDB databases and collections that works with the [rest][#rest] module and supports query param filtering (including text search) and pagination of backend collections.
