However, it has been abandoned since its initial release in January 2019 and has received no updates or maintenance since then. The fixed precedence order cannot be customized, which may or may not align with your application's needs.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (no updates since 2019) and carries an AGPLv3+ license that restricts use in proprietary projects. For modern Python applications, use standard argparse with a dedicated config library (e.g., configparser, pydantic, or hydra) that is actively maintained and offers more flexibility."},"id":"config-parser","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/config-parser","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/config-parser.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/config-parser/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-01-21","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"agpl","name":"config-parser","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Configuration library wrappers"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":972267,"position":4607,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.1"}
