Logging Tools

`wipac_dev_tools.logging_tools.set_level()`

Available for Python 3.6+

            additional third party logger(s) which have not yet been created (at call time)
        `specialty_loggers`
            additional loggers, each paired with a logging level, which are not
            considered first-party nor third-party loggers. **These have the highest precedence**

Environment Variable Tool(s)

`wipac_dev_tools.from_environment()`

Available for Python 3.6+

def from_environment(keys: KeySpec) -> Dict[str, RetVal]:
    """Obtain configuration values from the OS environment.

    Parsing Details:
    Types are inferred from the default values, and casted as such:
    `bool`: *(case-insensitive)*:
        - `True`  => ("y", "yes", "t", "true", "on", or "1")
        - `False` => ("n", "no", "f", "false", "off", or "0")
        - `Error` => any other string
    `int`: normal cast (`int(str)`)
    `float`: normal cast (`float(str)`)
    `other`: no change (`str`)

    Arguments:
        keys - Specify the configuration values to obtain.

               This can be a string, specifying a single key, such as:

                   config_dict = from_environment("LANGUAGE")

               This can be a list of strings, specifying multiple keys,
               such as:

                   config_dict = from_environment(["HOME", "LANGUAGE"])

               This can be a dictionary that provides some default values,
               and will accept overrides from the environment:

                   default_config = {
                       "HOST": "localhost",
                       "PORT": 8080,
                       "REQUIRED_FROM_ENVIRONMENT": None
                   }
                   config_dict = from_environment(default_config)

               Note in this case that if 'HOST' or 'PORT' were defined in the
               environment, those values would be returned in config_dict. If
               the values were not defined in the environment, the default values
               from default_config would be returned in config_dict.

               Also note, that if 'REQUIRED_FROM_ENVIRONMENT' is not defined,
               an OSError will be raised. The sentinel value of None indicates
               that the configuration parameter MUST be sourced from the
               environment.

    Returns:
        a dictionary mapping configuration keys to configuration values

    Raises:
        OSError - If a configuration value is requested and no default
                  value is provided (via a dict), to indicate that the
                  component's configuration is incomplete due to missing
                  data from the OS.
        ValueError - If a type-indicated value is not a legal value
    """

`wipac_dev_tools.from_environment_as_dataclass()`

Available for Python >=3.9

def from_environment_as_dataclass(
    dclass: Type[T],
    collection_sep: Optional[str] = None,
    dict_kv_joiner: str = "=",
    log_vars: Optional[logging_tools.LoggerLevel] = "WARNING",
) -> T:
    """Obtain configuration values from the OS environment formatted in a
    dataclass.

    Environment variables are matched to a dataclass field's name. The
    matching environment string is cast using the dataclass field's type
    (there are some special cases for built-in types, see below). Then,
    the values are used to create a dataclass instance. All normal
    dataclass init-behavior is expected, like required fields
    (positional arguments), optional fields with defaults, default
    factories, post-init processing, etc.

    If a field's type is a bool, `wipac_dev_tools.strtobool` is applied.

    If a field's type is a `list`, `dict`, `set`, `frozenset`, or
    an analogous type alias from the 'typing' module, then a conversion
    is made (see `collection_sep` and `dict_kv_joiner`). Sub-types
    are cast if using a typing-module type alias. The typing-module's
    alias types must resolve to `type` within 1 nesting (eg: List[bool]
    and Dict[int, float] are okay; List[Dict[int, float]] is not), or
    2 if using 'Final' or 'Optional' (ex: Final[Dict[int, float]]).

    If a field's type is a class that accepts 1 argument, it is
    instantiated as such.

    Arguments:
        dclass - a (non-instantiated) dataclass, aka a type
        collection_sep - the delimiter to split collections on ("1 2 5")
        dict_kv_joiner - the delimiter that joins key-value pairs ("a=1 b=2 c=1")
        log_vars - what level to log the collected environment variables (set to `None` to not log)

    Returns:
        a dataclass instance mapping configuration keys to configuration values

    Example:
        env:
            FPATH=/home/example/path
            PORT=9999
            HOST=localhost
