A springy little configuration reader

Project description

A Springy Little Configuration Reader

latest release pipeline status coverage report Maintainability pylint PyPI version Downloads Code style: black docs: pdoc Checked with mypy pre-commit.ci status

Influenced by Spring Boot's YAML configuration features, this library reads system configuration settings from environment variables and YAML files.

Installation

To install using pip:

pip install pyspry

Usage

By default, a file named config.yml in the current directory will be loaded and parsed for configuration settings. These can be accessed through the pyspry.settings module.

For example, consider the following config.yml file:

DATABASES:
  default:
    AUTOCOMMIT: true
    NAME: db.sqlite3
DEBUG: true
DEFAULT_CHARSET: utf-8

These configuration settings can be accessed as follows:

>>> from pyspry import settings
>>> settings.DEBUG
True

>>> settings.DEFAULT_CHARSET
'utf-8'

Specifying Alternate Config Files

Set the environment variable PYSPRY_CONFIG_PATH to override the default path to the configuration file:

>>> import os; os.environ["PYSPRY_CONFIG_PATH"]
'sample-config.yml'

>>> from pyspry import settings
>>> settings.PYSPRY_STATICFILES_FINDERS
['django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder', 'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder']

Variable Prefixes

Set the environment variable PYSPRY_VAR_PREFIX to filter which settings are loaded:

>>> import os; os.environ["PYSPRY_VAR_PREFIX"]
'PYSPRY'

>>> from pyspry import settings
>>> "TEST_RUNNER" in settings         # the prefix is automatically inserted
True

>>> "IGNORED_SETTING" in settings     # see the last line in 'sample-config.yml'
False

Nested Structures

If the configuration includes nested data structures, each layer of nesting can be traversed using _-separated names:

>>> settings.LOGGING["version"] == settings.LOGGING_version == 1
True

>>> settings.LOGGING["loggers"]["pyspry"]["level"] == \
...   settings.LOGGING_loggers_pyspry_level == 'DEBUG'
True

Environment Variables

In many cases, it can be useful to set one-off overrides for a setting. This can be done with an environment variable:

>>> import importlib, os
>>> settings.LOGGING_loggers_pyspry_level
'DEBUG'
>>> os.environ["PYSPRY_LOGGING_loggers_pyspry_level"] = "INFO"
>>> settings = importlib.reload(settings)
>>> settings.LOGGING["loggers"]["pyspry"]["level"]
'INFO'

Django Integration

This package was originally designed for use with the Django framework. To use it:

# after installing the package, specify it as the settings module
export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=pyspry.settings

django-admin diffsettings

The following system dependencies are required:

Common development commands are managed by poethepoet; run poe --help for an up-to-date list of commands:
