A nice config package
Project description
config is a drop-in replacement for the stdlib RawConfigParser object. It makes parsing and using configuration files in your python scripts approximately 10 times more pythonic and fun.
By default it reads and writes to ~/.conf. This can be changed by setting $CONF. If ~/.conf or the file specified in $CONF does not exist, it will be created on the first import.
- basic usage:
>>> from config import config >>> config gmail my-database secret-stuff >>> config['gmail'] [gmail] username = rick@gmail.com password = wubalubadubdub >>> config['gmail']['username'] 'rick@gmail.com' >>> config['gmail']['password'] 'wubalubadubdub'
- add or set config file options:
>>> config['my-database']['port'] = 3306 >>> config['my-database']['port'] '3306'
- delete config file options:
>>> del config['secret-stuff']['burn-after-reading'] >>> config['secret-stuff']['burn-after-reading'] NoOptionError: No option 'burn-after-reading' in section: 'secret-stuff'
- add a section (any valid dict-like can be added as section):
>>> config['stackoverflow'] = {'username': 'guido', 'password': 'pa$$word1'} >>> config['stackoverflow'] [stackoverflow] username = guido password = pa$$word1
- delete a section:
>>> del config['stackoverflow'] >>> config['stackoverflow'] NoSectionError: No section: 'stackoverflow'
- write out to a file (overwrites by default):
>>> config.save()
- read in another config file:
>>> config.read('/path/to/conf') ['/path/to/conf'] >>> config gmail my-database secret-stuff first_section_of_other_conf second_section_of_other_conf
Additionally, the config object _is_ an instance of RawConfigParser, so you can use any of those methods as before. This means that config is a dropin replacement for ConfigParser.
