confattr.config module

class confattr.config.Config(key: str, default: T, *, help: Optional[Union[str, dict[T, str]]] = None, unit: Optional[str] = None, parent: Optional[DictConfig[Any, T]] = None, allowed_values: Optional[Sequence[T]] = None)

Bases: Generic[T]

Each instance of this class represents a setting which can be changed in a config file.

This class implements the descriptor protocol to return value if an instance of this class is accessed as an instance attribute. If you want to get this object you need to access it as a class attribute.

Parameters:

• key – The name of this setting in the config file

• default – The default value of this setting

• help – A description of this setting

• unit – The unit of an int or float value

T can be one of:

• str

• int

• float

• bool

• a subclass of enum.Enum (the value used in the config file is the name in lower case letters with hyphens instead of underscores)

• a class where __str__() returns a string representation which can be passed to the constructor to create an equal object. A help which is written to the config file must be provided as a str in the class attribute help or by calling Set.set_help_for_type(). If that class has a str attribute type_name this is used instead of the class name inside of config file.

• a list of any of the afore mentioned data types. The list may not be empty when it is passed to this constructor so that the item type can be derived but it can be emptied immediately afterwards. (The type of the items is not dynamically enforced—that’s the job of a static type checker—but the type is mentioned in the help.)

Raises:

ValueError – if key is not unique

LIST_SEP = ','

default_config_id = 'general'

format_allowed_values(t: Optional[type[Any]] = None) → str

format_allowed_values_or_type(t: Optional[type[Any]] = None) → str

format_any_value(value: Any) → str

format_type(t: Optional[type[Any]] = None) → str

format_value(config_id: Optional[ConfigId]) → str

instances: dict[str, confattr.config.Config[Any]] = {}

A mapping of all Config instances. The key in the mapping is the key attribute. The value is the Config instance. New Config instances add themselves automatically in their constructor.

Raises:

ValueError – if value is invalid

Raises:

ValueError – if key is not unique

has_changed() → bool

Returns:

True if value has been changed since the last call to save_value()

restore_value() → None

Restore value to the value before the last call of save_value().

save_value(new_value: T) → None

Save the current value and assign new_value to value.
