sys-vars 5.1.0

Access system variables in your code as native Python data types.

sys-vars

Access system variables in your code as native Python data types.

Usage

Requires Python 3.8+

Load system variables for used in applications as secrets, variables, and other related contexts as native Python data types. Searches for a file in SYS_VARS_PATH, falling back to os.enviorn. If the package is installed with the dotenv extra (pip install sys-vars[dotenv]), there is a final check in the contents of a .env file located in SYS_VARS_PATH, if one exists.

SYS_VARS_PATH must be a defined OS environment variable that is set before app start. If it is not found, a KeyError exception will be raised.

import sys_vars


# Returns <class 'str'>
# Default values can be specified if the key is missing
sys_vars.get("HOST_ADDRESS", default="localhost")

# Returns <class 'bool'>
# Default values are supported for casting methods too
# Also treats "t", "true", "y", "yes" as True value
sys_vars.get_bool("DEBUG_MODE", default=False)

# Returns <class 'datetime.datetime'>
sys_vars.get_datetime("LAST_SYNC_RUN")

# Returns <class 'float'>
sys_vars.get_float("pi")

# Returns <class 'int'>
sys_vars.get_int("THE_MEANING_OF_LIFE")

# Returns <class 'dict'> or <class 'list'>
# Automatically decodes JSON strings into dictionaries/lists
sys_vars.get_json("CONFIGURED_TERMS")

# Returns <class 'pathlib.Path'>
sys_vars.get_path("CONFIG_PATH")

# Raises `sys_vars.SysVarNotFoundError`
sys_vars.get("DOES_NOT_EXIST")
