P-Conf

Easy use Configs for python projects. Allows loading the config files in the application directory (os specific). Once set the config can be used as a singleton across the project or pass around.

Locations for the config file

The following are the default locations that will be searched

~/.config/<appname>/config.(toml|json|ini|yaml)
<system config directory>/<appname>/config.(toml|json|ini|yaml)

Example code

The example code uses the following as the example configuration file

# My config.toml file
foo = 1
[bar]
a = 2

Using inside of a single script

from pi_conf import load_config
cfg = load_config("ourappname")

print(cfg.foo) # 1
print(cfg.bar.a) # 2

Using inside of applications

The following is the preferred way of using the pi-conf module.

# __init__.py

from pi_conf import load_config
cfg = load_config("ourappname") ## Loads the config from the application <appname> directory

Using the config in files

Once it the config has been set you can use it from any file doing either of the following methods.

Option 1

from ourappname import cfg ## Import cfg from what we set in __init__.py

print(cfg.foo) # 1

Option 2
