Smart Environment Wrapper Library
Project description
SmartEnv - OS Environment Wrapper Library
A flexible, easy-to-use library for managing environment variables in your Python script.
Why yet another one?
This library comes with a few major points to use it:
- It is easy and intuitive (see examples)
- It's compatible with Python 2 (can be useful in old large systems)
- Continuous support of the library
Getting started
This library is pretty easy to use:
from smart_env import ENV
print(ENV.HOME) # Equals print(os.environ['HOME'])
# Apply type cast wherever you need by using ENV as a context manager
with ENV:
# assuming you set env variable MYVAR to "True" in shell
my_var = ENV.MY_VAR # Equals boolean True
# And here type cast is automatically disabled
my_second_var = ENV.MY_VAR # Equals 'True' as string
# Enabling automatic type cast for all the further commands
ENV.enable_automatic_type_cast()
# assuming you set env variable MYVAR to "True" in shell
my_var = ENV.MY_VAR # Equals boolean True
ENV.NEW_VAR = 100 # Sets a new environment variable
# Disabling automatic type cast
ENV.enable_automatic_type_cast()
How to use
In a few words, the logic is next:
- You can store a lot of serialized values in Environment variables and then deserialize them on fly using ENV class.
- Each environment variable can be accessed as an attribute of ENV class:
ENV.<variable_name>
- The internal decoding mechanism is based on json and ast packages. That means, you can parse even some JSON-incompatible values (for example, with single quotes used for defining strings).
Installing
Simply run
pip install smart-env
Running the tests
This library contains tests written using unittest module, so just run in the project directory
python -m unittest
It's possible to run tests using Tox as well:
tox -e <env>
or just
tox
Tests coverage is one of the important goals of this project. For now coverage is next:
- For Python 2.7: 99%
- For Python 3.x: 97%
Supported environments:
- py27
- py35
- py36
- py37
- py38
- py39
- py310
- py311
- coverage (using Python 3)
- coverage27 (using Python 2.7)
- pep8 (style checking)
Restrictions
-
Old versions of Python in both generations (e.g. 2.6, 3.4, etc) will never be supported. However, you always can implement such support in your forks.
-
Parsing set() objects is not working in Python 2. See this for details.
