It loads settings from files like pyproject.toml or .ini files in a user's directory, with optional validation and built-in caching. The package exposes a UserConfig class that retrieves configuration values by package name, making it straightforward to let users customize tool behavior through standard config files.\n\nThe library supports multiple config file types and optional merging of settings across files. It is fully typed and tested. Runtime dependencies are loguru, platformdirs, tomli, typer, and typing-extensions. The package requires Python 3.9 or later.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to read and validate user configuration files in a Python package or CLI tool. The low install friction, permissive license, and straightforward API make it practical. However, the aging maintenance status (309 days since last release) means you should verify the package still meets your needs and be prepared to maintain a fork if critical issues arise."},"id":"maison","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/maison","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/maison.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/maison/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-10-09","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"maison","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Read settings from config files"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1183641,"position":4253,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0.2"}
