alchemy-config 1.1.3

Configuration framework in Python for general configuration use.

Alchemy Config

The aconfig library provides simple yaml configuration in python with environment-based overrides.

Installation

To install, simply use pip

pip install alchemy-config

Quick Start

config.yaml

foo: 1
bar:
    baz: "bat"

main.py

import aconfig

if __name__ == "__main__":
    config = aconfig.Config.from_yaml("config.yaml")
    print(config.foo)
    print(config.bar.baz)

export BAR_BAZ="buz"
python3 main.py

Corner-case Behavior

You CAN set builtin method names as attributes on the config. However, you should only access/delete them via dictionary access methods.

For example:

import aconfig
cfg = {"update": True}

config = aconfig.Config(cfg)

# DO NOT DO THIS:
config.update

# DO THIS INSTEAD:
config["update"]

This is because there is no way in Python to tell whether you want the method or the attribute "update" when "getting" it from the object.
