Read configuration settings from configuration files.
When developing a python package, e.g a command-line tool, it can be helpful
to allow the user to set their own configuration options to allow them to tailor
the tool to their needs. These options are typically set in files in the root of
a user's directory that uses the tool, for example in a pyproject.toml or an
{project_name}.ini file.
maison aims to provide a simple and flexible way to read and validate those
configuration options so that they may be used in the package.
pip install maison
Suppose the following pyproject.toml lives somewhere in a user's directory:
[tool.acme]
enable_useful_option = true
maison exposes a UserConfig class to retrieve values from config files
like so:
from maison import UserConfig
from my_useful_package import run_useful_action
config = UserConfig(package_name="acme")
if config.values["enable_useful_option"]:
run_useful_action()
See the documentation for more details.
