Please evaluate OmegaConf and Hydra

Hi, interesting project!
I am the author of OmegaConf and of Hydra.

Take a look at OmegaConf has some powerful features that can help your project:

• Config composition
• Interpolations
• Optional strong runtime type safety (via dataclasses).
  And more.

Hydra could also be of interest, although some of it's default behaviors may be inappropriate for your proejct.

Thanks @omry. Especially the dot-list functionality is very interesting!

The dotlist is one of the earlier features in OmegaConf :).
You have another task for schema validation which I think can be addressed easily using Structured Configs.
I am also sure interpolation can help you reduce config duplication (and can also allow transparent access to environment variables):

user: ${env:USER}

that really is very cool! amazing work, thanks for sharing!

Glad you like it.
I strongly recommend that you look at Hydra as well, it's significantly more advanced but also more opinionated - and some of the opinions may be somewhat incompatible with your goals.
Let me know what you think.
