cfg_param_wrapper 1.0.1

a config wrapper I made. It's made to wrap simple functions, and intercept configurations in tandem with a CfgDict object.

Check the Github README! It's likely more up to date.

Installation

# from pypi:
pip install cfg-param-wrapper

# from github:
git clone "https://github.com/zeptofine/cfg-param-wrapper"
cd cfg-param-wrapper
pip install -e .

@wrap_config

The wrap_config decorator is meant to wrap a function, take their parameters and create a config file from it. Once a function is wrapped using @wrap_config, either the cfg can change and the function's default parameters are updated according to the argument names and such.

This is very useful in Typer and Click commands (wrap it before declaring a command).

CfgDict

This is a dictionary subclass that takes a filename, and saves all the changes to the file using json or toml.

It allows custom encoders and decoders for the file formats it supports.

Example

from cfg_param_wrapper import wrap_config, CfgDict

cfg = CfgDict("test.json")
@wrap_config(cfg)
def test_function(s: str, is_real: bool = True): # I'd advise only wrapping functions with default parameters
    return f"{s} is {'real' if is_real else 'fake'}"

if __name__ == "__main__":
  print(test_function("We"))
  cfg['s'] = "us"
  print(test_function()) # Linters hate him!
