YAML configuration loader with advanced features.

PYAMLO: YAML Configuration Loader

PYAMLO is a YAML configuration loader for Python, designed for advanced configuration scenarios. It supports file inclusion, deep merging, environment variable injection, variable interpolation, and direct Python object instantiation from YAML and object instance referencing including their properties.

Features

• Includes: Merge multiple YAML files using _includes.
• Merging: Deep merge dictionaries, extend lists (!extend), and patch/replace dictionaries (!patch).
• Environment Variables: Substitute values using !env VAR_NAME or !env {var: NAME, default: ...}.
• Variable Interpolation: Reference other configuration values using ${path.to.value} syntax.
• Object Instantiation: Create Python objects directly from YAML using !@module.path.ClassName or !@module.path.func
• Instance Referencing: Use ${instance} to reference instantiated objects and their properties. Or ${instance.attr} to reference attributes of instantiated objects.

Example

_includes:
  - examples/base.yml
  - examples/override.yml

testenv: !env MY_TEST_VAR

app:
  name: TestApp
  version: "2.0"

paths:
  base: !@pathlib.Path /opt/${app.name}
  data: !@pathlib.Path
    - ${paths.base}
    - data

services:
  main: !@pyamlo.SystemInfo
  secondary: !@pyamlo.SystemInfo

hostdefault: !@pyamlo.call "${services.main.as_dict}" 

pipeline:
  composite:
    first: ${services.main.host}
    second: ${services.secondary}

logs:
  - !@pathlib.Path /logs/${app.name}/main.log
  - !@pathlib.Path /logs/${app.name}/${services.main.host}.log
