ManageConfig

Tiny, practical config loader that turns JSON and YAML into dot-access objects. Designed for scripts, CLIs, and small services that want clean config access without a heavy dependency tree.

Highlights

• Dot access for nested config values (conf.db.host)
• JSON and YAML support with a single API
• Lightweight, no magic beyond clean attribute access
• Friendly to scripts and small apps

Install

pip install manageconfig

Quickstart

from manageconfig import Config

conf = Config.load_from_yml("config.yml")

print(conf.string2)
print(conf.string1)

# Prints "localhost"
print(conf.mysqldatabase.hostname)

# i == 3013
i = conf.mysqldatabase.port + 1

Use Cases

• Project settings loaded once and reused across modules
• Local dev secrets and per-environment configuration
• Lightweight config handling in CLI tools

Example Config (YAML)

# comment syntax

# basic syntax - key and value separated by colon and space before the value
key: value

# Scalar data types
integerValue: 1                     # integer value
floatingValue: 1                     # floating value

stringValue: "456"                  # string with double quotes
stringValue: 'abc'                   # string with single quotes
stringValue: wer                     # string without quotes

booleanValue: true                   # boolean values - true or false

# Multiline string with literal block syntax - preserved new lines
string1: |
  Line1
  line2
  "line3"
  line4

# Multiline strings with folded block syntax - new lines are not preserved,
# leading and trailing spaces are ignored
string2: >
  Line1
  line2
  "line3"
  line4

# Collection sequence data types
arraylist:
  - One
  - two
  - Three

arraylist2: [one, two , three]

mysqldatabase:
  hostname: localhost
  port: 3012
  username: root
  password: root

JSON Support

Use Config.load_from_json("config.json").

API

• Config.load_from_yml(path) loads YAML into a dot-access object
• Config.load_from_json(path) loads JSON into a dot-access object
