It handles type conversion (bool, int, lists, classes), provides clear error messages when configuration is invalid, and includes a Sphinx extension for auto-generating configuration documentation. The library is built around the 12-Factor app pattern and supports component-based architectures with namespaced configuration keys.\n\nThe package is now deprecated and its repository is archived as of October 2025. While it remains functional for existing projects, no new features or maintenance will be provided. It is suitable for applications already using it or for new projects that do not require ongoing vendor support, but teams starting fresh should evaluate actively maintained alternatives.","worth_installing":"No\u2014not for new projects. Everett is deprecated and archived as of 2025-10-15, with no further maintenance planned. While it is stable and has no known vulnerabilities, the lack of ongoing support means compatibility issues with future Python versions will not be addressed. Existing projects using it can continue, but new development should choose an actively maintained alternative."},"id":"everett","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/everett","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/everett.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/everett/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-10-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"everett","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Configuration library for Python applications"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":706866,"position":5268,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.5.0"}
