It reads multiple YAML files and merges them according to a chosen strategy (simple replacement, deep merge, or list substitution), then optionally interpolates variables using Jinja2 templates. The library is designed to replicate Puppet's Hiera-style configuration management for Python applications.\n\nThe package depends on PyYAML for YAML parsing and Jinja2 for template variable substitution. It preserves dictionary ordering during load and merge operations, which is important for interpolation to work correctly. Configuration can be loaded from files or YAML strings, and the merge behavior is customizable through method selection and callback functions.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need hierarchical YAML configuration merging with templating. The package is stable (Production/Stable classifier), actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. The GPLv3 license is a blocker only if you cannot distribute under copyleft terms. It is well-suited for application configuration management but adds a dependency for a focused use case\u2014evaluate whether built-in config tools or simpler alternatives meet your needs first."},"id":"hiyapyco","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/hiyapyco","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/hiyapyco.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/hiyapyco/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-10-20","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"HiYaPyCo","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Hierarchical Yaml Python Config"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":225756,"position":9214,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.7.0"}
