EasySettings 1.0.4

Easily save & retrieve your applications settings.

Easy Settings

Easy Settings allows you to easily save and retrieve simple application settings.

Example

Example of Easy Settings usage:

#!/usr/bin/env python

from easysettings import easysettings

settings = easysettings.easysettings("myconfigfile.conf")
settings.configfile_create()

settings.set("username", "cjw")

print settings.get("username")
# this results in "cjw"
settings.save()
# you may also set & save in one line...
settings.setsave("username", "otheruser")

Features

Easy Settings has the basic features you would expect out of a settings module, and it’s very easy to use. If your project needs to save simple string settings without the overhead and complication of other modules then this is for you.

Easy Settings uses a dictionary to store settings before writing to disk, so you can also access settings like a dictionary object using easysettings.settings. This allows you to do things like this (where mysettings is an EasySettings instance):

for s_opt in mysettings.settings.iterkeys():
          print "Setting '" + s_opt + "' is set to '" + mysettings.settings[s_opt] + "'"
    # this results in: "Setting 'username' is set to 'otheruser'"

You can also retrieve a list of options & values strings:

lst_settings = mysettings.list_settings()
for itm in lst_settings:
          print itm
    # this results in "username=otheruser"
