Simple method used to load configuration variables from different sources.
Supports loadings variables from the environment, json file and/or Django settings.
The method will search for the keys in any of the 3 sources and returns the first match.
Search order:
- Environment
- JSON - used if path is set and the file exists
- Django settings - used if Django is installed
This is useful if you need to set configuration variables(SECRET_KEY, DATABASE_NAME, etc...) via environment on a CI server and load the same variables from a json file in a production environment.
pip install iconf (or add to your requirements.txt)
import iconf
# find and return keys from environment variables and/or django settings
# and/or json file
configs = iconf.get(keys=["KEY1", "KEY2"], path="configs.json")
# import full json file
configs = iconf.get(path="configs.json")
# import from environment and/or django settings
configs = iconf.get(["KEY1", "KEY2"])run tests with python -m unittest discover
