envconfig 0.2.1

Parse config options from the OS environment.

A module for reading configuration values from the OS environment variables.

Compared to using straight os.getenv() this module provides a view convenience functions, for example, for parsing booleans.

I was not happy with using straight os.getenv() because we’ve had a number of errors that were related to missing config values in .env files. This module should help with that by providing a clean way for accessing config variables.

Usage

$ pip install envconfig

import envconfig

boolopt = envconfig.bool("BOOL_OPTION")
intopt = envconfig.int("INTEGER_OPTION")
stropt = envconfig.int("STRING_OPTION")
listopt = envconfig.list("LIST_OPTION")
dictopt = envconfig.dict("DICT_OPTION")
