devel/py-pop-config 8.0.2_1 FreeBSD

Pop-config is the official tool to allow for creating and app-merging configuration options for pop projects. Plugin Oriented Programming presents a means to merge multiple applications together dynamically. This capabilities requires that the startup of these applications needs to be managed from within the programming paradigm. Since this is the case pop-config becomes a critical and hard requirement of pop.

Pop-config is not just about being able to work with pop projects to facilitate app-merging, it has also been designed to make the startup of an application much simpler, and to make the expensive boiler plate of startup and configuration as transparent as possible. When making pop projects the idea is that projects are developed in very small chunks and are then dynamically merged together. So the creation of these mergeable apps needs to be quick and easy!

Pop-config also solves a problem with configuration of applications, when making a new application, if you want robust configuration loading, you need to be able to take options from the command line, environment variables, and configuration files. Pop-config does all of this for you, and loads them in the correct order, all behind the scenes, making your life easier.
