Application configuration engine

Project description

Python helper class to ingest and serialize app-specific configuration

Provides a self-contained (no dependencies outside the standard library), Python 2 and 3 compatible configuration manager. Automatically saves and restores your application’s configuration in your user home directory. Uses JSON or (optionally) YAML for serialization. Supports dict-like methods and access semantics.

Installation

If your package does not permit dependency management, you can copy the Config class directly into your application from https://github.com/kislyuk/tweak/blob/master/tweak/__init__.py. Otherwise:

pip install tweak

Synopsis

from tweak import Config

config = Config()
config.host, config.port = "example.com", 9000
config.nested_config = {}
config.nested_config.foo = True

After restarting your application:

config = Config()
print(config)
>>> {'host': 'example.com', 'port': 9000, 'nested_config': {'foo': True}}

Using an argparse.Namespace object returned by argparse.parse_args():

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
...
args = parser.parse_args()
if args.foo is not None:
    config.foo = args.foo
elif "foo" not in config:
    raise Exception("foo unconfigured")

config.update(vars(args))

Using YAML:

config = Config(use_yaml=True)
...

Pass Config(save_on_exit=False) to disable automatic configuration saving on Python shutdown (this is useful if you only want to read the config, never write it, or if you want to call config.save() manually). Pass Config(autosave=True) to make save() run any time an assignment happens to a config object.
