yaml-config-manager 0.1.0

A package to manage YAML configuration with command line overrides

YAML Config Manager

yaml_config_manager is a Python package to manage YAML configurations with command line overrides. This package allows you to load a configuration from a YAML file and override or add parameters using command line arguments.

Installation

Install the package using pip:

pip install yaml_config_manager

Usage

First, create a configuration YAML file. For example, config.yaml:

model:
    name: "my_model"
    hidden_size: 768
training:
    batch_size: 32
    learning_rate: 0.001

Next, use the yaml_config_manager package in your Python script:

from yaml_config_manager import load_config
config = load_config()

The configuration file path shoudl be specified using the --config argument. You can also override or add parameters using --<key>=<value> syntax. For example:

python your_script.py --config=config.yaml --model.hidden_size=512 --training.batch_size=64

The parameters in the configuration file can be accessed as follows:

model_name = config.model.name
hidden_size = config.model.hidden_size
...

Handling Edge Cases

• Non-existent keys: If a key specified in the command line does not exist in the YAML file, it will be added to the configuration.
• Nested keys: Nested keys can be overridden or added using the dot notation.
