konfetti 0.7.0

`konfetti` provides a framework-independent way for configuration of applications or libraries written in Python.

Description

konfetti is a Python configuration management system with an intuitive API, lazy evaluation and (a)sync Vault support.

The interface design and features are heavily inspired by decouple, Django, envparse and dynaconf.

Key features:

• Lazy evaluation;

• Built-in environment variables support;

• Built-in async Vault access support;

• Helpers for tests;

• Django & Flask integration.

Benefits of lazy evaluation:

• Faster & simpler test runs; No need for evaluation the the whole project config if it is not used

• Avoid network calls during imports until necessary;

Quickstart

To use konfetti you need to define:

• configuration variables in a module or a class;

• an access point;

Settings module

# app_name/settings/production.py
from konfetti import env, vault

VAULT_ADDR = env("VAULT_ADDR")
VAULT_TOKEN = env("VAULT_TOKEN")

DEBUG = env("DEBUG", default=False)
DATABASE_URI = vault("path/to/db")

The naming convention for variables names is upper case, other variables will be ignored. To work with Vault it is required to specify VAULT_ADDR and VAULT_TOKEN in the settings module.

Access point

# app_name/settings/__init__.py
from konfetti import Konfig, AsyncVaultBackend

config = Konfig(vault_backend=AsyncVaultBackend("/secret/team"))

konfetti relies on KONFETTI_SETTINGS environment variable to discover your settings module, in the case above:

export KONFETTI_SETTINGS=app_name.settings.production

Alternatively the access point could be initiated from an object, importable string, mapping or a JSON file.

class TestSettings:
    VALUE = "secret"
config = Konfig.from_object(TestSettings, ...)

config = Konfig.from_object("path.to.settings", ...)

# If the config is in the same module
SECRET = vault("/path/to")["secret"]
config = Konfig.from_object(__name__, ...)

config = Konfig.from_mapping({"SECRET": 42}, ...)

config = Konfig.from_json("/path/to.json")

Usage

The settings module/class with configuration options shouldn’t be accessed directly, because the aforementioned features are implemented in the access point level.

from app_name.settings import config

async def something():
    await config.DATABASE_URI  # asynchronously taken from Vault
    debug = config.DEBUG  # Usual sync access
