SuperSimpleConfig is a lightweight Python library designed to read user configuration files written in an extremely simple manner. Its goal is to offer an easy and intuitive way to handle configuration files, making the reading and application of configurations straightforward and hassle-free.

Features

• No block structure; each configuration item is on its own line.
• All spaces are ignored.
• Automatic detection of data types (integer, float, string, boolean).
• By default, quotes are not needed for strings. If you want to force a numerical value to be treated as a string, you can manually add quotes like "123456".
• Super simple syntax.
• Read-only functionality; does not support writing.

Installation

You can install SuperSimpleConfig via pip:

pip install SuperSimpleConfig

Quick Start

Here's a simple example of how to use SuperSimpleConfig:

First, create a configuration file. There are no specific requirements for the file name and extension. Here, we use config.txt as an example, with the following content:

// You can write comments at the beginning
domain=example.com // Comments can go here as well
// Comments are also allowed here
max_requests=5 // Automatically identified as int
pi=3.1415 // Automatically identified as float

// Empty lines are also okay

Here's another example of a configuration file:

// Configuration File
// pip install pyserial
// pip install telepot
 // Configuration File
 // https://api.telegram.org/botxxxx

phonenum="008613588888888" // Phone number, optional but useful for distinction in multiple instances.
max_error_count=10 // Maximum error count limit
timezone=0 // Time zone, integer type
serialPort=COM3 // Serial port, in Windows you can use ../test/serial_init.cmd to get it
baudRate=115200 // Baud rate
schedule_reconnect_max=20.0 // Force reconnect to serial port if not refreshed in X seconds

db_path=database/example.db // Database path
sms_send_allow=True // Allow sending SMS?
sms_auto_send=False // Enable auto-reply for 11-digit incoming calls

sms_limit=1 // Maximum number of auto-reply SMS
sms_auto_send_content=Hello, the phone number you dialed has been changed to xxxxx, please contact for any matters. // Content of auto-reply
current_phonenum_log=True // Display the local phone number in local messages?

enable_telegram=True // Enable Telegram
bot=1234567890:AAAA00xxxxxxxxxx // Bot parameters
tg_api_base_link=https:\/\/api.telegram.org
tg_chat_id="-00000000" // Telegram group ID
current_phonenum_tg=True // Display the local phone number in Telegram messages?

flask_host=0.0.0.0
flask_port=8908
flask_production_mode=False

Then, you can use the following code to read and use these configurations:

from SuperSimpleConfig import UserConfig

configs = UserConfig().read("config.txt")

#UserConfig().read("FilePath")  #return a dictionary
#UserConfig().show("FilePath") #print the config

print(configs)
Value1=configs['flask_host']
Value2=congis["flask_port"]

Configuration File Format

our configuration file should follow these simple rules:

• Each configuration item is defined on a single line as key=value. Empty lines are allowed.
• Comments can be added at the end of a line, starting with //.
• Quotes are not necessary for strings unless you want to force an integer or float to be treated as a string.
• Escape character: Use // to include // in your text. e.g. https://www.python.org
