devel/py-confuse 2.2.1 NetBSD

Confuse is a configuration library for Python that uses YAML. It takes care of defaults, overrides, type checking, command-line integration, human-readable errors, and standard OS-specific locations.

Here's what Confuse brings to the table:

• An utterly sensible API resembling dictionary-and-list structures but providing transparent validation without lots of boilerplate code.
• Combine configuration data from multiple sources. Using layering, Confuse allows user-specific configuration to seamlessly override system-wide configuration, which in turn overrides built-in defaults.
• Look for configuration files in platform-specific paths.
• Integration with command-line arguments via argparse or optparse from the standard library.
