Configuration helper

PyPI package: ppconfig

If you spot any problems or have any improvement ideas then feel free to open an issue and I will be glad to look into it for you.

Installation

A recommended way of installing the tool is pip install.

pip install

The tool is available in PyPI and can be installed using pip:

$ pip install --user ppconfig

Configuration

By default, configuration files are searched for in ~/.config/ (this can be overridden by class argument config_dir or environment variable XDG_CONFIG_HOME). If the config directory does not exist then it will be automatically created.

Usage

Let’s say we have ~/.config/app_name with the following contents:

[default]
var1 = First Data

[section_name]
var2 = Some other random data

To read both variables from this file:

from ppconfig import Config

config = Config(config_file='app_name')

var1 = config.get('var1')
var2 = config.get('var2', section='section_name')
