PyAutoConf (package autoconf) is the configuration, serialization, and
I/O foundation of the PyAuto ecosystem. It
provides a layered configuration system with workspace overrides, dict / JSON /
CSV serialization of arbitrary objects, and FITS I/O.
PyAutoFit, PyAutoArray, PyAutoGalaxy, and PyAutoLens all depend on
autoconf: it supplies their packaged default config, the object-serialization
used to persist models and results, and shared utilities (test_mode,
jax_wrapper). Centralising these here keeps a single, consistent config and
I/O layer beneath every library. Within the
PyAutoScientist organism it is the
Nerves — the layer connecting the workspace's conventions to every library.
Install
pip install autoconf
Examples
Layered config — read a directory of YAML into a queryable Config:
from autoconf.conf import Config
config = Config("path/to/config") # directory of YAML files
value = config["general"]["model"]["section"]["value"]
JSON serialization — round-trip arbitrary Python objects:
from autoconf.dictable import output_to_json, from_json
data = {"sersic_index": 4.0, "centre": [0.0, 0.0]}
output_to_json(data, "model.json")
restored = from_json("model.json") # == data
FITS I/O — write and read a NumPy array:
import numpy as np
from autoconf.fitsable import output_to_fits, ndarray_via_fits_from
arr = np.arange(12.0).reshape(3, 4)
output_to_fits(values=arr, file_path="demo.fits", overwrite=True)
loaded = ndarray_via_fits_from(file_path="demo.fits", hdu=0) # np.allclose(arr, loaded)
