Simple configuration example
----------------------------
.. code-block:: python
"""Usage example for user_config."""
from user_config import Config, Section, StringOption, IntegerOption
class MyConfig(Config):
"""This will be displayed in the configuration documentation."""
application = "my_application"
author = "me"
class GeneralSection(Section):
"""General information."""
name = StringOption(
doc="your name",
default="unknown person")
age = IntegerOption(
doc="your age",
required=True)
general = GeneralSection()
class AddressSection(Section):
"""shipping address"""
street = StringOption(
doc="street including house number",
required=True)
city = StringOption(required=True)
address = AddressSection(required=False)
if __name__ == "__main__":
CONFIG = MyConfig()
print("hello there, {}!".format(CONFIG.general.name))
Command line help text:
.. code-block:: shell
$ python examples/simple_example.py -h
usage: my_application [-h] [--generate-config] [--city CITY] [--street STREET]
[--age AGE] [--name NAME]
This will be displayed in the configuration documentation. Command line
arguments overwrite configuration found in:
/root/.config/my_application/config.cfg /etc/xdg/my_application/config.cfg
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--generate-config print a complete configuration file with current settings
--city CITY
--street STREET street including house number
--age AGE your age
--name NAME your name
Command line use with default value:
.. code-block:: shell
$ python examples/simple_example.py --age 211
hello there, unknown person!
Command line use without required value:
.. code-block:: shell
$ python examples/simple_example.py
