conflit 0.1.4

lightweight configuration management library

conflit

Layered YAML configuration for Python. Compose multiple config files, patch nested keys without repeating unchanged ones, accumulate lists across layers, and optionally validate the result with Pydantic.

TLDR

# base.yaml
model:
  num_layers: 6
  hidden_dim: 512
features:
  - mixed_precision

# gpu_large.yaml — only what changes; hidden_dim is preserved
model:
  num_layers: 12
features: !append
  - distributed_training

# experiment.yaml
_compose:
  - base.yaml
  - gpu_large.yaml
run_name: orion-v1-large

from pathlib import Path
from conflit import load

cfg = load(Path("experiment.yaml"))
# {"model": {"num_layers": 12, "hidden_dim": 512},
#  "features": ["mixed_precision", "distributed_training"],
#  "run_name": "orion-v1-large"}

cfg = load(Path("experiment.yaml"), schema=OrionConfig)
cfg.model.num_layers  # 12 — typed, validated
