HiYaPyCo 0.2.0

Hierarchical Yaml Python Config

HiYaPyCo - A Hierarchical Yaml Python Config

Description

A simple python lib allowing hierarchical overlay of config files in YAML syntax, offering different merge methods and variable interpolation based on jinja2.

Key Features

• hierarchical overlay of multiple YAML files

• multiple merge methods for hierarchical YAML files

• variable interpolation using jinja2

Requirements

• PyYAML aka. python-yaml

• Jinja2 aka. python-jinja2

Python Version

HiYaPyCo was designed to run on both current major python versions without changes. Tested versions:

• 2.6

• 2.7

• 3.2

Usage

A simple example:

import hiyapyco
conf = hiyapyco.load('yamlfile1' [,'yamlfile2' [,'yamlfile3' [...]]] [,kwargs])
print(hiyapyco.dump(conf))

real life example:

yaml1.yaml:
---
first: first element
second: xxx
deep:
    k1:
        - 1
        - 2

yaml2.yaml:
---
second: again {{ first }}
deep:
    k1:
        - 4
        - 6
    k2:
        - 3
        - 6

load …

>>> import pprint
>>> import hiyapyco
>>> conf = hiyapyco.load('yaml1.yaml', 'yaml2.yaml', method=hiyapyco.METHOD_MERGE, interpolate=True, failonmissingfiles=True)
>>> pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=4).pprint(conf)
{   'deep': {   'k1': [1, 2, 4, 6], 'k2': [3, 6]},
    'first': u'first element',
    'ma': {   'ones': u'12', 'sum': u'22'},
    'second': u'again first element'}

args

All args are handled as file names. They may be strings or list of strings.

kwargs

• method: bit (one of the listed below):

  • hiyapyco.METHOD_SIMPLE: replace values (except for lists a simple merge is performed) (default method)

  • hiyapyco.METHOD_MERGE: perform a deep merge

• interpolate: boolean : perform interpolation after the merge (default: False)

• failonmissingfiles: boolean : fail if a supplied YAML file can not be found (default: True)

• loglevel: int : loglevel for the hiyapyco logger; should be one of the valid levels from logging: ‘WARN’, ‘ERROR’, ‘DEBUG’, ‘I NFO’, ‘WARNING’, ‘CRITICAL’, ‘NOTSET’ (default: default of logging)

• loglevelmissingfiles: int : one of the valid levels from logging: ‘WARN’, ‘ERROR’, ‘DEBUG’, ‘INFO’, ‘WARNING’, ‘CRITICAL’, ‘NOTSET’ (default: logging.ERROR if failonmissingfiles = True, else logging.WARN)

interpolation

The default jinja2.Environment for the interpolation is

hiyapyco.jinja2env = Environment(undefined=Undefined)

This means that undefined vars will be ignored and replaced with a empty string. If you like to change the jinja2 Environment used for the interpolation, set hiyapyco.jinja2env before calling hiyapyco.load!

If you like to keep the undefined var as string but raise no error, use

from jinja2 import Environment, Undefined, DebugUndefined, StrictUndefined
hiyapyco.jinja2env = Environment(undefined=DebugUndefined)

If you like to raise a error on undefined vars, use

from jinja2 import Environment, Undefined, DebugUndefined, StrictUndefined
hiyapyco.jinja2env = Environment(undefined=StrictUndefined)

See: jinja2.Environment
