derpconf Description

derpconf is a Python module that abstracts loading configuration files for your app.IntallingInstalling derpconf is as easy as:pip install derpconfUsageUsing it is as simple as:from derpconf.config import Configconf = Config.load('/path/to/my/cfg.conf')assert conf.MY_KEY == 'MY_VALUE' # assuming there's a key called MY_KEY in # the configuration file.Settings DefaultsIf you want to set default values for your configurations, just call:Config.define('MY-KEY', 'DEFAULT VALUE', 'Description for my key', 'Section')The values that define gets are:- the configuration key;- the default value for that key if it's not found in the configuration file;- the description for this key. This is very useful for generating configuration file examples.- the section that this key belongs to. Again very useful for generating configuration file examples.Generating Configuration ExamplesTo generate a configuration example, you just need to call the get_config_text method. Let's see an example:from derpconf.config import ConfigConfig.define('foo', 'fooval', 'Foo is always a foo', 'FooValues')Config.define('bar', 'barval', 'Bar is not always a bar', 'BarValues')Config.define('baz', 'bazval', 'Baz is never a bar', 'BarValues')config_sample = Config.get_config_text()print config_sample # or instead of both, just call generate_config()The following text will be print into the standard output:################################## FooValues ##################################### Foo is always a foo## Defaults to: fooval#foo = 'fooval'################################################################################################################## BarValues ##################################### Bar is not always a bar## Defaults to: barval#bar = 'barval'## Baz is never a bar## Defaults to: bazval#baz = 'bazval'################################################################################A good sample of using derpconf can be seen at thumbor's configuration file.Product's homepage
