• Config Files. Trapdoor makes it easy to create and maintain TOML configuration files.

🚌 A Quick Tour

At its foundation, trapdoor is meant to ease the process of creating and maintaining configuration files within your Python tool. Commonly, you will want to use it to create a configuration store, get existing configuration keys, and set configuration keys.

If you're interested in a complete overview of trapdoor's capabilities, please see the documentation pages.

# import trapdoor
from trapdoor import Trapdoor

t = Trapdoor('trapdoor-test')           # create a store at ~/.trapdoor-test/config.yml (by default)
t.set('some.nested.key.hello', 'world') # set a key in the configuration file
t.get('some.nested.key.hello')          # get a key from the configuration file
