Setting management library

Seth

A setting management library. By grouping all your application settings in one class, it's easier to document.

First, define a class for your settings. It must be a dataclass (or even better, a frozen dataclass) and inherit from seth.Settings.

from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Optional

from bl_seth import Settings

@dataclass
class MySettings(Settings):
    MANDATORY: str
    "A mandatory string."
    
    DEFAULT: str = "default"
    """A string that defaults to '"default"'."""

    INTEGER: int = 1
    "An integer that defaults to '1'."

    OPTIONAL: Optional[str] = None
    "An optional value."

Then instantiate it using its from_dict class method. Most probably, the dictionary is built from the environment.

import os

settings = MySettings.from_dict(os.environ)

You can now directly access its attributes.

settings.DEFAULT == "default"
settings.OPTIONAL is None
