configblanket 0.1.0

Flexible configuration orchestration for Python applications

ConfigBlanket

Flexible configuration orchestration for Python applications — load settings from code defaults, config files, environment variables, .env files, CI/CD variables, CLI arguments, and optional interactive prompts.

Features

• Multi-source loading with configurable precedence
• Source tracking — know where every value came from
• Typed config classes with validation
• Secret masking in repr, explain, and exports
• Nested configuration with __ env delimiter
• Pluggable file parsers (JSON, YAML, TOML, INI, dotenv)
• CI/CD aware — auto-disables prompting in CI and non-TTY environments

Default precedence

CLI > CI/CD env > OS env > .env > config files > code defaults > interactive prompt

Quick start

from configblanket import Config, field

class AppConfig(Config):
    database_url: str = field(required=True, env="APP_DATABASE_URL", secret=True)
    api_key: str = field(required=True, env="APP_API_KEY", secret=True)
    debug: bool = field(default=False, env="APP_DEBUG", cli="--debug")
    port: int = field(default=8000, env="APP_PORT", cli="--port")

config = AppConfig.load(
    files=["config.yml", "config.local.toml"],
    dotenv=".env",
    cli=True,
    interactive=True,
)

print(config.port)
print(config.source_of("port"))
print(config.explain())
