Cross-platform python module to store application config vianative subsystems such as Windows Registry or NSUserDefaults.

Project description

https://travis-ci.org/GreatFruitOmsk/nativeconfig.svg?branch=master https://badge.fury.io/py/nativeconfig.png

Developers of cross-platform applications often face problems when application should interact with the system. And config files are no exception, since every popular OS has its own format and guidelines.

This package addresses this very problem in an elegant and Pythonic way:

import os
from nativeconfig import PreferredConfig, Option, ChoiceOption, IntOption

class SuperbConfig(PreferredConfig):
    REGISTRY_PATH = r'Software\MyApp'
    JSON_PATH = os.path.expanduser('~/.config/MyApp/config')

    name = Option('Name')
    sex = ChoiceOption('Sex', ['male', 'female'], default='female')
    favorite_number = IntOption('FavoriteNumber', default=42)

We just created a config that will use appropriate locations on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux!
