A configuration system using YAML and entry points

Project description

repoze.configuration README

repoze.configuration is a package that software developers can use as a configuration system. It allows the use of YAML as a configuration language. Application-defined “directives” can be plugged in to repoze.configuration using one or more Python setuptools entry points. For example, you could make sense out of the following YAML using repoze.configuration and a custom “appsettings” directive:

--- !appsettings
port_number = 8080
reload_templates = true

--- !include
filename = anotherfile.yml

Please see docs/index.rst or http://docs.repoze.org/configuration for more documentation.

repoze.configuration Changelog

0.4 (2009-07-25)

  • Totally backwards incompatible.

  • Instead of accepting “context”, “structure” and “node”, directives now accept “declaration” objects. A declaration object has most of the methods that used to be supplied by the “context”, and some new ones. The docs have been updated.

0.3 (2009-07-24)

  • Backwards incompatibility: directives must now accept three arguments: context, structure, and node (previously they had only accepted context and structure).

  • error method added to context.

  • Make discriminator conflict detection actually work.

  • Show actual lines from conflicting files when possible during a discriminator conflict.

  • Ignore import errors when trying to resolve entry point loads.

  • Add a popvalue method to the context; it works like getvalue except it pops the value out of the structure supplied instead of just getting it.

  • It was not possible to resolve the single dot . using repoze.configuration.context.Context.resolve to the current package.

  • Using a Python %(interpolation)s marker in any string value allows you to replace values in strings. For example, using “%(here)s” in a string value would attempt to resolve the name “here” from the registry as a key.

  • Use pyyaml’s SafeLoader rather than Loader: we don’t really need to be able to construct arbitrary Python objects.

0.2 (2009-07-13)

  • Trying to read any directive section that wasn’t a YAML mapping caused a TypeError (e.g. construct_scalar takes no argument 'deep').

0.1 (2009-06-22)

  • Initial release.
