configs 1.8

Configuration for humans

Parsing INI configs must be easy, as are INI files.

Configs provides a simple API for getting data from INI config files.

Loading data from a config is as easy as configs.load(my.conf).

Configs work with both Python 2 and 3.

The repo is at bitbucket.org/moigagoo/configs.

Features

• Root-level params (with no section)

• Numeric values are converted automatically

• Sections with only key-value items are parsed as dicts

• Sections with only flag items (keys with no value) are parsed as lists

• Mixed content sections are parsed as a dict and a list, which can be accessed individually

• Sections are iterable (even the mixed ones)

Installation

Install configs with pip:

% pip install configs

Basic usage

Load a config file:

>>> import configs
>>> c = configs.load('sample.conf')
>>> c['general']
{'foo': 'baz'}

Load a config file with a fallback config file (with default values):

>>> fc = configs.load('sample.conf', fallback_file='default.conf')
>>> fc['general']['spam']
eggs
