Quickstart

The following instructions will get you up and running in no time.

Install PyFiguration

Run the following command to install PyFiguration:

$ pip install pyfiguration

Or add PyFiguration to your requirements.txt or setup.py.

Import PyFiguration in your script

Add the following line to any script to start making use of PyFiguration:

from pyfiguration import conf

Create new configuration options

Decorate your functions to define which configurations should be made available, and how to check if the provided values are valid. Example:

@conf.add_int_field("port", minValue=80, maxValue=9999, default=8000)
def my_function():
    ...

Use configuration in your code

The conf object will contain all the parsed configurations. Just access the value like this:

port = conf["port"]

Write a config file

Running with default values can be fine, but of course you want to be able to overwrite them. Define a YAML or JSON file with your config, and provide the file as an argument to your script when running:

# config.yaml
port: 6000
$ python my_script.py --config config.yaml
