It provides flexible access patterns: dot notation (config.logger.mode), dictionary syntax (config['logger']['mode']), and a get() method that supports nested key paths (config.get('logger.mode')) and type casting (config.int('PORT'), config.list('PRICES')).\n\nThe package automatically discovers common config file names (config.yaml, settings.json, .env, etc.) and environment variables, then exposes them through a single interface. It also supports runtime manipulation via set(), insert(), and update_from_locals() methods, and includes validation through assert_contains(). The library depends only on PyYAML for parsing, keeping installation lightweight.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last commit 2023-04-17, 1215 days ago) with no active maintenance, so security patches and bug fixes are unlikely. While the core functionality is straightforward and low-friction to install, the lack of maintenance makes it a poor choice for new projects; consider actively maintained alternatives like python-dotenv, pydantic-settings, or dynaconf instead."},"id":"bestconfig","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/bestconfig","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/bestconfig.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/bestconfig/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-04-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"bestconfig","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Setup your project config easily"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":89380,"position":13663,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.3.6"}
