pip install manageconfig
This library manages config files and exposes them as Python objects. It is super small, basic, and easy to use.
Note: This package currently supports only YAML and JSON configurations, but we will soon add support for other formats (and we are open to suggestions).
Suppose we want to load the config.py
file attached below. We can do it as follows:
from manageconfig import Config
conf = Config.load_from_yml('config.yml')
print(conf.string2)
print(conf.string1)
# This will print 'localhost'
print(conf.mysqldatabase.hostname)
# i == 3013
i = conf.mysqldatabase.port + 1
# comment syntax
# basic syntax - key and value separated by colon and space before the value
key: value
# Scalar data types
integerValue: 1 # integer value
floatingValue: 1 # floating vale
stringValue: "456" # string with double quotes
stringValue: 'abc' # string with single quotes
stringValue: wer # string without quotes
booleanValue: true # boolean values - true or false
# Multiline string with literal block syntax -preserved new lines
string1: |
Line1
line2
"line3"
line4
# Multiline strings with folded block syntax - new lines are not preserved,
# leading and trailing spaces are ignore
string2: >
Line1
line2
"line3"
line4
# Collection sequence data types
# sequence arraylist example
arraylist:
- One
- two
- Three
arraylist2: [one, two , three]
mysqldatabase:
hostname: localhost
port: 3012
username: root
password: root
JSON support: In order to use json format - simply use Config.load_from_json('config.json')
