It reads a YAML file, replaces placeholders like `$VAR_NAME` with values from your environment, and gives you dot-notation access to nested keys\u2014so `env['database.host']` retrieves a deeply nested value without manual traversal. It also supports default values (e.g., `$VAR|default`) and escaping (e.g., `$$` for a literal `$`).\n\nThe package is built on top of PyYAML and adds a thin configuration layer. It's useful when you want to keep secrets and deployment-specific values out of version control but still maintain readable, structured config files. Strict mode (on by default) will raise an error if you reference an undefined environment variable, though you can disable it to allow missing vars to become None.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need environment-aware YAML configuration with dot-notation access and don't mind dormant maintenance. The package is stable and has no known vulnerabilities, but expect no active development\u2014bug fixes or new features will not arrive. It's a good fit for small to medium projects with straightforward config needs; larger systems may prefer more actively maintained alternatives."},"id":"envyaml","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/envyaml","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/envyaml.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/envyaml/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-01-08","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"envyaml","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Simple YAML configuration file parser with easy access for structured data"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1471667,"position":3868,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.10.211231"}
