It provides a framework for building structured configuration management into applications, handling both the validation of existing config files and the generation of new ones.\n\nThe package depends on munge for its core functionality and supports Python 3.8 through 3.12. It is marked as Production/Stable but has not received updates since 2024-02-21, so while it is mature and usable, active maintenance is limited. The library was recently renamed from 'cfu' to 'confu' on PyPI.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need straightforward configuration validation and generation. The package is stable, permissively licensed, and has low install friction. However, dormancy since 2024-02-21 means no recent bug fixes or feature updates\u2014suitable for stable, mature use cases but not for projects requiring active upstream support."},"id":"confu","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/confu","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/confu.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/confu/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-02-21","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"confu","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Configuration file validation and generation"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":93501,"position":13380,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.9.0"}
