brek 0.0.2

Python port of brek, a structured config loader with layered files and loaders.

brek

This project is the Python port of the original brek project.

brek keeps the same core principles:

• declarative JSON configuration
• layered config files
• environment variable interpolation
• loader-based dynamic values
• a bundled AWS Secrets Manager loader

brek stands for Blocking Resolution of Environment Keys.

Quick Start

Install from PyPI:

python -m pip install brek

Or install from a checkout:

python -m pip install -e .

Create a config/default.json file:

{
  "port": 3000,
  "postgres": {
    "host": "localhost"
  },
  "secret": {
    "[awsSecret]": {
      "key": "demo",
      "region": "us-west-2"
    }
  }
}

Generate the resolved cache:

brek load-config

Or use it from Python:

from brek import DefaultLoaders, GetConfig, SetLoaders

SetLoaders(DefaultLoaders())
conf = GetConfig()
print(conf["port"])

Features

• JSON config files with default, environment, deployment, and user overlays.
• CLI and environment overrides through BREK or OVERRIDE.
• Environment variable expansion via ${VAR} syntax.
• Loader support for runtime values.
• Bundled awsSecret loader for AWS Secrets Manager.
• Standard-library core with no mandatory runtime dependencies.

Release

Releases are created by AutoRel from conventional commits on main and next. When GitHub creates a release, the pypi-publish.yml workflow builds an sdist and wheel and publishes them to PyPI using Trusted Publishing.

To enable publishing, configure Tatch-AI/brek-python as a trusted publisher in the PyPI project settings for the pypi environment and .github/workflows/pypi-publish.yml.

Support

The original implementation lives at mhweiner/brek.

Releases are automated with autorel from conventional commits on main and next.

Release commits should follow the same conventional-commit format used by the original project.
