config4py
=========
config4py is a simple config library that handles ini-like
config files as python dicts.
config4py supports configspecs in a very similar fashion to
_ConfigObj: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj.html
Examples
++++++++
Basic config syntax:
simple.conf:
[config]
foo = bar
# config4py supports %include directives
%include extended.conf
extended.conf:
[config]
bar = baz
[other]
boz = foobarbaz
>>> from config4py import Config
>>> Config.read(['simple.conf'])
{'config': {'foo': u'override'}, 'other': {'boz': u'foo,bar,baz'}}
Validate simple dictionary values:
>>> from config4py import Config, Configspec
>>> cfg = Config({ 'port' : '3306' })
>>> cfgspec = Configspec({ 'port' : 'integer' })
>>> cfgspec.validate(cfg)
{'port': 3306}
Validate a config file:
example.conf:
[example]
exclude-list = foo, bar, baz
>>> from config4py import Config, Configspec
>>> cfg = Config.read(['example.conf'])
>>> spec = Configspec({ 'example' : { 'exclude-list' : 'list' } })
>>> spec.validate(cfg)
{'example': {'exclude-list': [u'foo', u'bar', u'baz']}}
