cognisn-konfig 0.1.1

Settings management, pluggable secrets, and run-scoped logging for Python applications.

Konfig

Settings management, pluggable secrets, and run-scoped logging for Python applications.

Konfig provides three foundational capabilities every Python application needs, with an optional lightweight app lifecycle context manager that ties them together. It is a clean-sheet replacement for dtPyAppFramework.

Features

• Layered settings with system/user/env/runtime precedence and persistent writes
• Pluggable secrets with OS keyring, AES-encrypted file, and AWS Secrets Manager backends
• Run-scoped logging with historical retention, structured JSON mode, and stdio-safe output
• Platform-aware defaults for config, data, and log directories (macOS, Linux, Windows)
• Optional app lifecycle via a sync/async context manager — no inheritance required
• Python 3.10+

Installation

pip install konfig

For AWS Secrets Manager support:

pip install konfig[aws]

Quick Start

from konfig import AppContext

with AppContext(
    name="My Application",
    version="1.0.0",
    config_file="config.yaml",
    env_prefix="MYAPP",
) as ctx:
    host = ctx.settings.get("database.host", "localhost")
    api_key = ctx.secrets.get("api_key")
    ctx.logger.info("Starting with host=%s", host)

For async applications:

async with AppContext(name="My Server", version="2.0.0") as ctx:
    await run_server(ctx.settings)

Each subsystem (Settings, Secrets, LogManager) can also be used independently. See the full documentation in the docs/ directory:

• Settings Guide
• Secrets Guide
• Logging Guide
• AppContext Guide
• Platform Paths
• Configuration Reference
• API Reference
