elective 0.1.1

What is elective?

elective is a Python program configuration option loader, capable of loading options from configuration files (TOML, JSON, YAML), the environment, or the command line, all with the same names and formats. There are many other fine options available, but none offered this combination of formats, configurable precedence, clear code and documentation, or adequate testing. Most also still use the ini format, which elective will not.

Roadmap

• Implement basic TOML configuration loading from pyproject.toml (bring in from pccc, target: 0.2.0).

• Consolidate TOML, JSON, and YAML loading (target: 0.2.0).

• Add argparser (target: 0.4.0).

• Implement and add environment variable processing (target: 0.5.0).

• Implement and add *.env file processing (target: 0.6.0).

• Implement testing, build, documentation, and CI (complete: 0.1.0).

pip install elective
