By using 'tconfpy', Python programmers can provide\r\ntheir users with an external configuration file for setting program\r\noptions, defining defaults, and so on. 'tconfpy' offloads the\r\nresponsibility for parsing and validating a configuration file from\r\nthe main application. The Python programmer need only deal\r\nwith the results and any errors or warnings generated during the\r\nparsing process.\r\n\r\n'tconfpy' recognizes a rich configuration language and provides a\r\nnumber of sophisticated programming features including:\r\n\r\n - The ability to breakup large configurations into smaller pieces\r\n via the '.include' directive.\r\n\r\n - Support for string substitution and concatenation throughout the\r\n configuration file via string variables. Variables may be\r\n locally declared, a reference to a symbol already in the\r\n symbol table, or a reference to an environment variable.\r\n\r\n - A complete set of conditional directives for selective\r\n processing of configuration options. Both existential (\"If\r\n variable exists ...\") and comparison (\"if string equals/does not\r\n equal string ...\") forms are provided, as is an '.else'\r\n directive.\r\n\r\n - The ability to instantiate program options prior to reading a\r\n configuration file and make them mandatory by declaring those\r\n options as Read-Only.\r\n\r\n - Optional type validation to ensure that a user enters a value\r\n appropriate for boolean, integer, floating point, string, or\r\n complex data.\r\n\r\n - Optional value validation to ensure that a configuration option\r\n is either within a specified range or one of an enumerated set\r\n of possible values. For configuration options which are string\r\n types, 'tconfpy', can optionally specify min/max string lengths\r\n and enumerate a set of legitimate regular expressions that the\r\n string must match.\r\n\r\n - The ability to define an arbitrary number of lexical namespaces.\r\n\r\n - The ability to use the various features of 'tconfpy' as a pre-\r\n processor for any other text (including source code for other\r\n programming languages and Python itself) via the '.literal'\r\n directive.\r\n\r\n - The ability to \"template\" classes of variables, thereby predefining\r\n the type and value restrictions for such variables. This makes\r\n 'tconfpy' useful as a building block for data validation tools.\r\n\r\n - An optional debug capability which returns detailed information\r\n about each line parsed.\r\n\r\n - Includes a test driver program for learning how to program with\r\n 'tconfpy' and for debugging and testing your own configuration\r\n files.\r\n\r\n - Comes with approximately 40 pages of documentation including a\r\n Programmer's API Reference and a User's Guide to the 'tconfpy'\r\n configuration language. Documentation is provided in several\r\n formats including Unix 'man', Plain Text, html, pdf, and\r\n Postscript.\r\n\r\n'tconfpy' is a Pure Python module and is platform-independent.\r\nIt should work identically on any platform on which Python runs.", "description_content_type": null, "docs_url": null, "download_url": "http://www.tundraware.com/Software/tconfpy", "downloads": { "last_day": -1, "last_month": -1, "last_week": -1 }, "home_page": "http://www.tundraware.com/Software/tconfpy", "keywords": "Parse Configuration Language .ini .rc", "license": "Free for individuals, Small fee for commercial use.", "maintainer": "Tim Daneliuk", "maintainer_email": "tconfpy@tundraware.com", "name": "tconfpy", "package_url": "https://pypi.org/project/tconfpy/", "platform": "All", "project_url": "https://pypi.org/project/tconfpy/", "project_urls": { "Download": "http://www.tundraware.com/Software/tconfpy", "Homepage": "http://www.tundraware.com/Software/tconfpy" }, "release_url": "https://pypi.org/project/tconfpy/2.112/", "requires_dist": null, "requires_python": null, "summary": "Advanced Configuration File Parser", "version": "2.112" }, "last_serial": 4677, "releases": { "2.112": [] }, "urls": [] }
