nano-settings 0.1.1

Extra small env config system (like pydantic-settings, but simpler)

Nano settings

Creates simple python config from environment variables. Smaller analog of pydantic-settings.

In comparison with pydantic-settings

Pros:

• Easier to understand and support.
• Relies only on standard library.
• Uses dataclasses, not polluting your code with external types (if you're using approaches similar to clean architecture).
• Almost no configuration.

Cons:

• No validation, you have to do it yourself.
• Almost no configuration.

Installation

pip install nano-settings

Basic usage

from dataclasses import dataclass

import nano_settings as ns


@dataclass
class DbSetup(ns.BaseConfig):
    max_sessions: int
    autocommit: bool = True


@dataclass
class Database(ns.BaseConfig):
    url: str
    timeout: int
    setup: DbSetup


# export MY_VAR__URL=https://site.com
# export MY_VAR__TIMEOUT=10
# export MY_VAR__SETUP__MAX_SESSIONS=2
config = ns.from_env(Database, env_prefix='my_var')
print(config)
# Database(timeout=10, url='https://site.com', setup=DbSetup(max_sessions=2, autocommit=True))

Supported variants

Straightforward - when your annotations are callable

from dataclasses import dataclass

import nano_settings as ns


@dataclass
class Config(ns.BaseConfig):
    variable: int
    # equivalent of
    # variable = int(os.getenv('VARIABLE'))

Annotated - when your annotations are complex and cannot be called

from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Annotated
import json

import nano_settings as ns


@dataclass
class Config(ns.BaseConfig):
    variable: Annotated[list[int], lambda x: x['key'], json.loads]
    # equivalent of
    # variable = json.loads(os.getenv('VARIABLE'))['key']

Nested - when your annotations are models

Example is listed in Basic usage

Aliases - when you want to get value by different name

Normal - try default and then alternatives

from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Annotated

import nano_settings as ns


@dataclass
class DbSetup(ns.BaseConfig):
    variable: Annotated[str, ns.EnvAlias('OTHER')]
    # will try to get `VARIABLE` and then `OTHER`

Strict - try only alternatives

from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Annotated

import nano_settings as ns


@dataclass
class DbSetup(ns.BaseConfig):
    variable: Annotated[str, ns.EnvAliasStrict('OTHER')]
    # will only try to get `OTHER`
