Configuration helper
PyPI package: ppconfig
If you spot any problems or have any improvement ideas then feel free to open an issue and I will be glad to look into it for you.
A recommended way of installing the tool is pip install.
The tool is available in PyPI and can be installed using pip:
$ pip install --user ppconfig
By default, configuration files are searched for in ~/.config/ (this can be overridden by class argument config_dir or environment variable XDG_CONFIG_HOME). If the config directory does not exist then it will be automatically created.
Let's say we have ~/.config/app_name with the following contents:
[default]
var1 = First Data
[section_name]
var2 = Some other random data
To read both variables from this file:
from ppconfig import Config
config = Config(config_file='app_name')
var1 = config.get('var1')
var2 = config.get('var2', section='section_name')
