pymlconf

pymlconf (Python YAML Configuration Library) helps to easily manage and access to your application configurations which was already Written in YAML language.

It can merge two or more configuration files according their names and automatically treat file-names as namespaces, or simply merge several parts of configuration(YAML-string or Python-dict) on arbitrary config node. for more informations see documentations.

Config file

# filename: config.yaml
app:
    root_dir: %(here)s

Python code:

# filename: config.py
from pymlconf import ConfigManager

config_str='''
app:
    name: MyApp
    listen:
        sock1:
            addr: %(hostname)s
            port: %(port)s
    languages:
        - english
        - {language: persian, country: iran}
        
logfile: /var/log/myapp.log
'''

cfg = ConfigManager(init_value=config_str, context=dict(hostname='192.168.0.1', port=8080))
cfg.load_files('path/to/config.yaml')

print cfg.app.name
print cfg.app.listen.sock1.addr
print cfg.app.languages[0]
print cfg.app.languages[1].country
