        conf
        ====
        
        A *very* simple and *lightweight* configuration loader and parser for Python.
        
        Supports:
        
        -  ini files (``*.ini``)
        -  json files (``*.json``)
        -  yaml files (``*.yml``, ``*.yaml``)
        
        Installation
        ''''''''''''
        
        Bare installation:
        ::
        
            pip install conf
        
        Installation with support for YAML:
        ::
        
            pip install "conf[yaml]"
        
        
        Usage
        '''''
        
        Starting your app
        """""""""""""""""
        
        Start your app with your configuration file:
        
        ::
        
            python your_app.py --config your_config.yml
        
        Or:
        
        ::
        
            python your_app.py --config config_env_var
        
        The ``--config`` argument can be:
        
        - a relative path to a file;
        - an absolute path to a file;
        - the name of an environment variable which value holds one of the above.
        
        You are allowed to provide multiple configuration names (separated by a single space), in which case any setting of a former
        configuration file can be overwritten by a setting of a later configuration file (if the name of that setting is identical).
        
        Once you have supplied your application with some configuration, you can fetch the settings of that configuration. There are
        three options of how to do that.
        
        Fetching your setting (option 1)
        """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
        
        Simply get your setting from the ``conf`` module:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            import conf
            your_setting = conf.your_setting
        
        Fetching your setting (option 2)
        """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
        Import your setting directly:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from conf import your_setting
        
        Fetching your setting (option 3)
        """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
        You can provide a default value if you are not sure the setting will be present:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            import conf
            your_setting = conf.get('your_setting', 'your default value')
        
        Note: If you use an ArgumentParser in your own application for other purposes, you must use the ``parse_known_args()`` method of the parser.
        
        Fetching your setting (option 4)
        """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
        You can get the configuration as a dictionary and get your setting as you would get any value from a ``dict``:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            import conf
            conf_dict = conf.asdict()
            your_setting = conf_dict.get('your_setting', 'your default value')
