It lets you define configuration schemas that map INI sections and keys to click command options, then automatically populate those options from a config file at runtime. The package provides ConfigFileReader as a base class and Param/SectionSchema decorators to describe how config sections should be parsed and stored.\n\nThe typical workflow is to define a schema class with nested SectionSchema classes (decorated with @matches_section to match section names, including wildcards), subclass ConfigFileReader to specify which config files to read and which schemas to use, then pass the result to click's context_settings as a default_map. This lets your CLI accept both config-file-driven and command-line-driven option values in a unified way.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need config-file support for a click CLI and are comfortable with a dormant package. The code is simple, has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. However, be aware that the last release was 2017 and maintenance is dormant\u2014if you encounter issues with modern Python or click versions, you may need to fork or patch it yourself. Suitable for stable, self-contained projects that don't require ongoing upstream support."},"id":"click-configfile","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/click-configfile","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/click-configfile.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/click-configfile/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2017-09-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"click-configfile","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"This package supports click commands that use configuration files."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":556631,"position":6018,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.3"}
